Third Edition Closes EDC's 30th Anniversary Year

Insomniac Events announced Monday that EDC Thailand will return to Phuket's Rhythm Park for its third edition, December 18-20, 2026. The festival serves as the closing event of EDC's global 30th anniversary celebration.

The lineup features Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Charlotte de Witte, DJ Snake, Dom Dolla, Above & Beyond, Andy C, Vintage Culture, and Subtronics, among others spread across six stages over three nights. The roster also includes EDM.com Class of 2025 members ALLEYCVT and Max Styler, alongside Mau P and SOFI TUKKER.

Six Stages and Signature Production

The main stage, kineticFIELD, will feature EDC's signature production including fireworks, lasers, and large-scale light shows. Other stages include circuitGROUNDS, which focuses on bass music and drum and bass, and neonGARDEN, a house and techno space hosted by Insomniac's Factory 93 imprint throughout the weekend.

Organizers say the December timing is deliberate, citing peak travel season, cooler weather in Phuket, and the holiday period as factors that make the event a destination for international attendees.

Hotel EDC and Phuket Takeover Week Return

Alongside the main festival, Hotel EDC Thailand at Angsana Laguna Phuket will offer a full resort experience for the second consecutive year, with poolside events, wellness programming, and shuttle service to the festival grounds. An extended Phuket Takeover Week will bring official pre-parties and after-parties to venues across the island.

EDC Thailand 2026 runs December 18-20 at Rhythm Park in Phuket. Tickets are on sale now.
