Sola Luna Festival: psytrance festival in southern Thailand
Sola Luna has cancelled its 2026/27 New Year beach edition in Khanom. In its place, a one-day Sola Luna Waterfall Festival takes place on Koh Phangan on 6 January 2027.
Sola Luna is a small, international psytrance festival in southern Thailand, usually held over New Year on the beach at Khanom. The 2025/26 edition began on 30 December 2025 and ran for six days. For 2026/27, the organizers cancelled the Khanom edition, citing costs and weak ticket sales, and replaced it with a one-day Waterfall Festival on Koh Phangan on 6 January 2027, with four stages and around 30 artists.
Location
The festival's home venue is Tycoon's Place on Thong Not Bay in Khanom, Nakhon Si Thammarat province: an open-air beach site, with Surat Thani (URT) as the nearest airport. The 2027 Waterfall Festival moves to the island of Koh Phangan instead. Check the official website for the details of the Koh Phangan venue.
