As Europe heads into winter and the festival calendar quiets down, Thailand’s iconic Halfmoon Festival is heating up and offering the perfect way to escape it all. From now through December 2025, Koh Phangan’s open-air jungle celebration will host a fresh run of bi-weekly shows featuring major international talent including WHITENO1SE, Blazy, Querox Berg, Ghost Rider, Blastoyz, Silver Panda, Mr.Black, Blanka, Ranji, Tezla, Reality Test, IRA, Tali Muss, Don't Blink, Dirty Andy and Javier Gonzalez.
As the northern hemisphere heads into cold, grey months, Halfmoon offers the perfect alternative with sunshine, sea views, incredible music and a global community of like-minded travellers. Over more than two decades, Halfmoon Festival has been a bucket list getaway bridging international electronic culture with local artistry, spectacular visual performance and soul-stirring and spiritual celebration. For content creators, travel influencers, music lovers and thrill-seekers alike, this is the ultimate winter destination.
With its unique two-day format and famously high definition and super sized production, all in idyllic island setting, Halfmoon Festival has long offered one of the most transportive dance music experiences in the world. From beach bliss to forest rave, each edition kicks off at the stunning Harmony Beach Club where you ease in with beachside beats, fire dancers and exotic performers, making for plenty of daytime fun. There are pool parties, games and endless tropical cocktails to enjoy as the sun sets over the Gulf of Thailand and leads into day two.
The second night then transforms the Magical Forest into a surreal nighttime playground. Surrounded by palms and jungle canopy, three custom-built stages - The Prime Stage, G Floor, and The Cave - are all curated with their own soundtrack and host everything from melodic techno and psychedelic trance to house, indie, hip-hop and experimental live sets. Fire shows, LED visuals and vivid production make this a vibrant, sensory stimulating rave like no other.
With over 2,000 accommodation options on the island ranging from beachside bungalows to luxury resorts, Koh Phangan offers easy access to wellness retreats, waterfalls, hiking, local markets and the festival itself. Daily ferries from Koh Samui and a growing number of direct flights into Surat Thani and Samui Airport mean it's never been easier to escape to paradise.
