EDC Thailand’s third edition takes place December 18–20, 2026, at Phuket’s Rhythm Park

Insomniac, the global dance music experience curator, today announced that EDC Thailand will return for its third edition December 18–20, 2026, marking a shift from its previous January dates. Beginning Thursday, January 22 at 7 p.m. PT / Friday, January 23, at 10:00 ICT, Insomniac is offering a limited-time presale starting at $229. Headliners can access the special pricing via: https://thailand.electricdaisycarnival.com/. 

The announcement comes after this weekend’s festival, when Headliners experienced EDC Thailand’s electrifying playground, featuring world-class DJs, immersive art installations, exhilarating rides, cutting-edge pyrotechnics, and a globally inspired soundtrack that united fans from around the world.

“We carefully considered the new EDC Thailand dates and hope these adjustments will make it easier for many of our festival travelers,” said Pasquale Rotella, Insomniac Founder. “Scheduling the festival in January posed challenges for some who had just returned home from holiday and New Year breaks, making it difficult to embark on another adventure just weeks after. By moving EDC Thailand to December, we align the event with a time when many people already have time off, allowing families to plan trips together or friends to enjoy a quick getaway, all while ensuring they can return home for the holidays. Plus, the weather is a bit cooler during this time, which is an added bonus. We envision Thailand evolving into a premier destination for music enthusiasts, much like Ibiza and other music destinations.”

The third edition of EDC Thailand – details coming soon – will build upon first-time additions that Headliners experienced at this weekend’s show. These included:

• Hotel EDC Thailand: This weekend’s show featured the first Hotel EDC experience hosted outside of Las Vegas, in partnership with Angsana Laguna Phuket, a luxury beachfront resort located along the tranquil shores of Bang Tao Bay and the blue waters of the Andaman Sea. Hotel details for the December 2026 show will be announced soon.
• Downtown EDC: Making its Thailand debut, Downtown EDC in January 2026 featured fan-favorite activations such as Kandi Casino, Diva, and a brand-new EDC Karaoke Battle. The experience featured two open-sided, Thai-style trucks where Headliners faced off in high-energy karaoke showdowns – a first for any EDC worldwide.

Binary Beach: During the January 2026 show, Binary Beach offered a space for reflection, release, and flow, inspired by the Sea Anemone, a creature that sways with the ocean current and glows beneath the surface. Set to the rhythms of Thai music, the space symbolized resilience, beauty, and self-expression – echoing EDC’s celebration of every individual’s unique way to bloom.

For the December 2026 show, Insomniac is introducing a new All-Access Experience Pass, granting entry to the Thursday Night Official Opening Beach Party and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday daily day parties. This pass offers an immersive way for Headliners to extend the EDC experience beyond the festival grounds. Details coming soon.
