INTRODUCTION

Equation is the culmination of many people, parties and artists across Asia, manifested into a 3-day event in paradise. It started 5 years ago in a Hong Kong basement, where a small team of people gathered with the goal of bringing all the island's music lovers together. Fast-forward 5 years and it has expanded throughout the region, with a network of clubs, dancers, DJs and artists. It's time to unify and celebrate the best music Asia, the people that keep it alive and the international artists that now call it home. We set sail on an unforgettable journey from April 14–16 on the Dong Mo Lake,  a 1-hour drive from Hanoi, Vietnam. Camping, dancing, food and the expansion of your soul awaits.

THE SITE

Set on the peninsula of Dong Mo Lake, situated 36 kilometers west of Hanoi, this man-made reservoir supplies water to the surrounding areas and covers over 1500 hectares. The Equation site is a grassy, forest landscape surrounded by 20 islands. With kilometers of space, trees and lake swimming, you can sit, relax and read a book, delve into the forest to the Universe Stage, or swim at sunrise.

MUSIC

With two rostered stages and an ambient tea tent, you are sure to find a sound to match your mood. 48 hours of music ranging from techno and disco, to house and the indescribable in the forest, on the grass and by the lake. Check the full schedule of artists in the "Line up" section below.

AN ASIAN AFFAIR

Whether it be The Observatory in Saigon, Safe Room in Bangkok, Mystik in Seoul, XX XX in Manilla, Shanghai’s Elevator or Smoke Machine / Bass Kitchen for Taipei – they all represent everything we love about music. Taking this network one step further is to unite everybody in one place at one time. Each venue will have a “Takeover” of a stage bringing the best of their local and international residents.
