Bangkok is gearing up for the fourth edition of the SIAM Songkran Music Festival, which has become one of the most anticipated Songkran events in Thailand. From April 11 to 14, 2025, the Bravo BKK Arena Area in RCA will be the center of a celebration that brings together music, culture, and community. Over the years, SIAM Songkran has turned into something people look forward to during Songkran. It feels like a tradition of its own at this point, and it is coming back to the venue where it all began in 2019.
Festival Overview
SIAM Songkran 2025 promises four days of music, water fights, and Thai cultural experiences. The festival embraces the spirit of Songkran, which is all about purification, renewal, and unity. It brings the joy of water play together with sets from some of the biggest names in electronic music.
This year, the festival is stepping things up with new stage designs that are meant to feel fresh while still giving a nod to Thai heritage. From the Onghtep collectible toys to the elephant pants available for attendees, SIAM Songkran keeps that connection to Thailand’s culture strong.
Lineup Highlights
Each day has something different to offer.
- April 11: Yellow Claw and Flosstradamus are teaming up for their first-ever back-to-back set in Thailand. This is something people have been waiting for, and seeing them on stage together is bound to make an impact. Other artists on the lineup include Dillon Francis, Darren Styles, Good Times Ahead, and RayRay.
- April 12: Hardwell is making his return to SIAM Songkran after playing in 2023. We were lucky enough to grab an interview with him, which you can check out here. Alongside him, Artbat, Blastoyz, Hedex, and Tujamo are all ready to bring their own styles to the festival
- April 13: Dimitri Vegas and Steve Aoki are teaming up for their first-ever back-to-back set in Thailand. Steve Aoki is also returning to the festival after last year’s show. The lineup for the day also includes Sub Focus, FrostTop, Ookay, and Slushii.
- April 14: Charlotte De Witte will be closing out the festival. People are excited to see what she brings to the table this time. Argy, Hannah Laing, Liu, and Maddix are all set to play as well, making sure the final day has its own vibe.
Venue Details
SIAM Songkran is returning to the Bravo BKK Arena Area, which hosted the very first festival back in 2019. This venue has history with SIAM Songkran, and bringing it back here feels like the right choice. The Bravo BKK Arena Area’s location within RCA’s nightlife scene has always been a solid fit for this kind of event.
Stage Design
The stage design this year is definitely going to catch people’s attention. A massive phoenix with blue and gold accents stretches above the entrance, symbolizing renewal and fresh beginnings. It suits the theme of Songkran perfectly, where letting go of the past and starting something new is what it is all about. Everything about the setup is built to feel impressive from the moment people walk in.
Cultural Significance & Merchandise
The name Siam is tied to Thailand’s history. It represents the country’s identity before officially becoming Thailand in 1939. Keeping “Siam” as part of the festival’s name feels like a way of honoring the past while building something new.
Songkran has always been about bringing people together, washing away the past, and celebrating new beginnings. The festival keeps that tradition alive by including elements of Thai culture that feel authentic rather than forced.
Merchandise like elephant pants and Onghtep toys are part of that experience. They are more than just souvenirs; they are pieces of Thai culture that people appreciate. It is a nice touch that makes everything feel more connected to the place where it is happening.
Final Thoughts
I was there for the very first SIAM Songkran back in 2019, and it has been interesting to see how much the festival has grown. That first year had something special to it. Everything felt new, and you could tell the organizers were putting their own twist on how to celebrate Songkran. It was raw, fun, and nothing felt overdone.
Seeing the festival come back to the Bravo BKK Arena Area feels right. That venue just works for SIAM Songkran, and being back where it all started brings back some good memories. This year’s lineup has some fresh combinations, especially with Yellow Claw and Flosstradamus teaming up and Dimitri Vegas going back-to-back with Steve Aoki. It is also good to see Hardwell back after his 2023 set.
It will be interesting to see how everything turns out!
