What is EDC Thailand?
EDC Thailand 2026 runs 16–18 January 2026 at the new Rhythm Park venue in Bang Tao Beach, Phuket, with three nights of large-scale stages, art, and performers under the Electric Sky. Here, we cover dates, venue details, tickets, Hotel EDC, and practical tips for planning. Electric Daisy Carnival is a global electronic music festival by Insomniac, featuring signature stages like kineticFIELD, interactive art and roaming performers. Thailand’s 2026 edition promises expanded grounds, multiple themed stages, and the signature EDC production.
Key Dates and Venue
EDC Thailand is confirmed for Friday to Sunday, 16–18 January 2026, at Rhythm Park in Phuket, a purpose-built festival site positioned near Laguna Phuket for easier access and larger production space. Gates and set times vary by day, but the festival operates as a multi-stage evening event across three nights.
Stages and Production
We can expect the iconic kineticFIELD mainstage plus several distinct stages delivering house, techno, trance, bass, and more, each with unique stage design and lighting. The larger Rhythm Park footprint supports wider dance areas, improved crowd flow, and higher production capacity across multiple stages.
Tickets and Pricing
Three-day GA and VIP tickets are sold via official platforms announced by EDC Thailand, with initial tiers advertised around 6,590 Baht for GA and 10,590 Baht for VIP during early waves, and higher as tiers advance. Future Owl presales began in 2025 with guidance to buy only from official links to avoid scammers.
Hotel EDC Thailand
Hotel EDC runs 15–19 January 2026 at Angsana Laguna Phuket, bundling a four-night stay with 3-day GA or VIP passes, daily breakfast, curated activities, pool and beach parties, and limited-edition merch. Packages accommodate up to four per room and include on-site wellness sessions and concierge support.
Getting There and Access
Rhythm Park sits in the Laguna Phuket area near Boat Avenue, offering proximity to resorts and beaches for daytime plans before the festival nights. Organisers note no on-site parking and require a valid photo ID for entry, so we plan for rideshares, shuttles, or designated drop-off zones.
What to Expect On-Site
Expect large art pieces, interactive zones, and a carnival-style atmosphere with performers across the grounds, plus wellness and beauty areas to prepare for the night. Operations are tailored to evening hours with multiple stages, elevated visuals, and crowd management improvements at the new venue.
Practical Planning Tips
- Buy only through official links listed by EDC Thailand or Hotel EDC to avoid fraud and secure the correct ticket tiers.
- Book accommodation early if not using Hotel EDC, as Laguna Phuket fills fast during this weekend.
- Bring a valid photo ID; admission is 20+ and enforced at all restricted areas.
- Arrive early each night to manage security lines and catch opening artists.
- Plan transport with no on-site parking noted; confirm drop-off and pickup points in advance.
