Highlight of the festival is its four-week, four-location concept. Each week, the event moves to a different venue across Pattaya, offering visitors new settings and experiences as they explore the city. This concept not only spreads the excitement throughout the area but also encourages travelers to discover more of Pattaya beyond the main beach.

The festival kicks off on March 6–7 at Pattaya Beach, the city’s iconic beachfront and one of the most popular tourist areas. Here, visitors can enjoy performances from top Thai artists while standing just steps away from the sea.

The celebration continues on March 13–14 at Jomtien Beach, another well-known seaside destination in Pattaya. This location offers a slightly more relaxed environment compared to the main beach, making it a great spot for visitors who want to enjoy live music while taking in the beautiful coastal views.

In the third week, the festival moves to one of Pattaya’s most unique locations, Koh Larn Island, scheduled for March 20–21. Known for its crystal-clear water and laid-back island vibe, Koh Larn offers a different experience from the mainland stages. Visitors can enjoy live performances while watching the sunset over the ocean.

The final week of Pattaya Music Festival 2026 takes place on March 27–28 at Lan Pho Public Park in Naklua, where the event wraps up with a grand finale. The closing concerts bring together some of the festival’s biggest names, ensuring the celebration ends with high energy and unforgettable performances.
