The SIAM Songkran Music Festival 2025 is set to be the highlight of the Thai New Year celebrations, with expectations running high for record attendance and substantial economic impact. Scheduled to take place from April 11 to 14, 2025, at the Arena Area (BRAVO BKK), RCA Rama 9 in Bangkok, this year’s festival aims to attract upwards of 100,000 attendees, generating significant revenue for the local economy.
Organized by One Asia Ventures, this year's festival promises to mix vibrant Thai culture with thrilling international music experiences. Rachata Thanyawut, the Chairman and Founder of One Asia Ventures, shared insights during the festival's official launch, emphasizing the event's purpose. “The festival will not only focus on exciting music but also include sophisticated Thai art, sustainable activities, and Thai cuisine to create a unique Songkran experience,” he noted.
Set under the imaginative theme of “THE DAWN”—signifying the start of new adventures—this year’s festival spans over 23 rai. The expanded space will allow for more activities and experiences, appealing to the diverse crowd it expects to draw. Last year’s festival saw around 70,000 participants, and with the exciting lineup and new attractions planned, Rachata expressed confidence: “We expect over 100,000 attendees over four days after receiving overwhelming feedback from both Thais and tourists across Southeast Asia.”
This year’s lineup features some of the biggest names in the electronic dance music (EDM) scene, with star performances by renowned DJs such as Dimitri Vegas, Steve Aoki, and Alesso. The inclusion of DJ heavyweights will undoubtedly make for unforgettable nights, as these artists take to the stage to deliver high-energy performances.
Another exciting addition to the SIAM Songkran Music Festival this year is the introduction of both VIP and Premium sections, offering guests exclusive experiences and perks. The festival aims to cater to the new generation of festival-goers by enhancing comfort and providing unique experiences. Tickets will be available at various price points, with starting prices for single-day access beginning at 2,100 baht and stretching up to 17,000 baht for Premium VIP packages. Rachata indicated this is part of the effort to expand the festival's reach and appeal.
The event is not only about music; it also seeks to promote Thailand's rich culture on the international stage. Combining elements of local heritage with modern entertainment aligns with the broader goals of elevifying Thailand's soft power. Rachata underscored, “We aim to make the SIAM Songkran Music Festival the music festival of choice for tourists worldwide,” advocating for music as a bridge connecting cultures through exciting performances and engaging lifestyle experiences.
Ahead of the festival, preparations are already underway to create vibrant environments for festival-goers to enjoy. Special activities will highlight Thailand’s cultural offerings, with live performances showcasing local talents alongside global icons. Traditional Thai cuisine will be featured extensively, ensuring attendees can indulge not just their musical appetites but also their culinary ones.
