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 to Sydney Showground. In October 2022, the festival debuted in Gdańsk, Poland at the Ergo Arena where it would return the following year for a second edition.

It is famous for its spectacular laser show. Markus Schulz frequently headlines the festival around the world.[9]
