Phuket, Thailand
By Sason Bishope Parry
Get ready, Southeast Asia! The world-famous Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) is making its first-ever appearance in Thailand, and it’s going to be nothing short of legendary. Known for its larger-than-life stages, mind-blowing light shows, and a lineup packed with the biggest names in electronic music, EDC is about to take over Phuket in 2025. Fans have been buzzing since the accidental leak earlier this year, and now it’s official — mark your calendars for January 17-19, 2025, when EDC Thailand hits the shores of the stunning Boat Avenue Lakefront in Phuket.
Pasquale Rotella, the mastermind behind Insomniac and the visionary who brought EDC to life, is beyond excited for this new chapter in EDC history. “This is the center of EDC,” Pasquale said, “and we change the stage design every year — it’s never the same. Thailand is a natural extension for us, and we can’t wait to bring the magic of EDC here.”
Why Thailand?
Thailand has become a hot spot for electronic music and festival culture, with iconic events like S2O Festival, 808 Festival, and Wonderfruit putting the country on the global festival map. But now, EDC is set to raise the bar even higher with its signature blend of music, art, and immersive experiences. The tropical beauty of Phuket, renowned for its beaches and vibrant nightlife, makes it the perfect backdrop for this festival of a lifetime.
What Can You Expect at EDC Thailand?
EDC festivals are famous for their jaw-dropping production, and while the details for Thailand are still under wraps, if past events are anything to go by, fans can expect a visual and auditory feast. From the beloved kineticFIELD stages to mind-bending light installations and epic pyrotechnics, every inch of EDC Thailand will be an otherworldly adventure. Previous editions of EDC in places like China, Japan, and, of course, its mothership event in Vegas, have featured the most prominent electronic acts in the world, so it’s safe to say that EDC Thailand will deliver a stellar lineup. Imagine dancing under the stars to your favorite dance superstars – line-up soon to be announced.
A Game Changer for Southeast Asia’s Festival Scene
The arrival of EDC in Thailand solidifies the country’s position as a must-visit destination for festival-goers around the globe. Thailand’s rich festival history and breathtaking scenery offer an unparalleled combination of culture, nature, and world-class music. Insomniac isn’t the only brand that has noticed the potential. Earlier this year, rumors circulated that Tomorrowland was also considering a festival in Thailand, though those plans remain
speculative for now. But with EDC officially on the horizon, Thailand is cementing itself as a dream destination for dance music lovers everywhere.
The Countdown Begins
As the debut of EDC Thailand approaches, fans are already gearing up for what is sure to be an unforgettable event. Whether you’ve been to EDC before or are experiencing the magic for the first time, the energy of thousands of fans gathered at the Boat Avenue Lakefront will be nothing short of electric.
