Today it also confirmed the first name in the lineup: Australian DJ and producerย Harley Edward Streten or Flume, who has previously announced hisย debut Asia tour. The 2017 Grammy winner is best known for tracks like “Never Be Like You”, “Say It” and “Insane”.
As we wait for further announcements, we can’t help but wonder which big names the Maya team have up their sleeves. It’s a bold move, after all, taking on the same weekend as Bangkok-based 808 Festival who has already confirmed the likes of Above & Beyond and Flosstradamusย in their lineup.
Tickets to Maya 2017 2.0 are now available through Ticket Melon, going at THB4,000.
