The achievement marks the highest ranking by a Chinese club and positions INS Land as the third highest-ranked venue in Asia in 2026.
In its debut year on the list, INS Land is Asia’s highest new entrant—a sign of its rapid global rise and second worldwide. The annual ranking, publicly voted by electronic music fans worldwide, is widely regarded as a key benchmark in global nightlife culture.
“This is an incredible achievement for our venue for China’s entertainment industry,” said Leo Liu, the Partner and Head of Global Business at INS Land.
“As our first year participating, we are proud to stand alongside some of the world’s most established clubs. INS Land is more than a party destination—it has become a cultural landmark in Shanghai. We continuously reinvent the space with new concepts, and last November, it was the afterparty for Tomorrowland’s first China show.”
