An interview with one of the headliners, Hardwell
1. You’re headlining NEON Countdown, one of Thailand’s biggest New Year EDM festivals. What makes a New Year’s Eve crowd different from a regular festival crowd?
“New Year’s Eve is always a unique experience. The whole crowd are counting down to a new chapter in their lives, and as a DJ, you get to control the energy leading into that. You’re not just dropping records; you’re creating memories that stick with people for years. That midnight drop? So, it has to be something really special to give the crowd that big moment they’re all looking for. That’s the challenge, and that’s what I love so much about playing NYE parties.”
2. What does it mean to you to be part of the Thai people’s New Year celebration at NEON Countdown?
“It’s such an honour. Thailand has always had a special place in my heart. The energy, the culture, the way people live and love music here, it’s amazing. To be headlining NEON Countdown, one of the biggest stages in the country, and doing it on New Year’s Eve, with the first-ever B2B with W&W? That’s something I’ll never forget.”
3. Have you had time to explore Thailand beyond shows? Any favourite places, food, or memories here?
“Afraid not too much sadly as it’s usually in and out due to my busy schedule, but hopefully will get more time to explore on this trip. Food-wise, I love dishes like Pad Krapow, Tom Yum, plus the street food is always next level. But honestly, it’s the people who make it special. Every time I come back, I feel welcomed with open arms. That energy stays with you, and it’s why I keep coming back.”
