Transmission Festival (also known as Transmission) is a large indoor trance music event originally based in Prague, Czech Republic[1] at the O2 Arena.[2] In March 2014, the festival was held for the first time in Bratislava, Slovakia.[3] Leaving Europe's shores for the first time, in July 2016 the festival was held in Melbourne, Australia.[4] In March 2017 the festival extended further by visiting Bangkok, Thailand[5] and returned to Melbourne, Australia in September. In 2018, the festival returned to Bangkok, Thailand,[6] hosted two days at Germany's AirBeat One Festival[7] near Neustadt-Glewe, and debuted in Shanghai[8] for its first edition in China. In March 2019, the festival returned to Australia at a new location at Sydney Showground. In October 2022, the festival debuted in Gdańsk, Poland at the Ergo Arena.[9] In December 2023, the festival took place in its biggest venue to date at GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands, to which it returns on 12th April 2025.[10] On the 9th August 2025, Transmission will host a stage at Dance Valley Festival in Netherlands.[11]

Transmission Festival famous for its spectacular lights and laser show. Markus Schulz, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Above & Beyond, Vini Vici, Cosmic Gate and MaRLo frequently headline the festival around the world.[12]
