Billions EDC estimated that several thousands of Thai and foreign music fans would participate in the event, and help make Phuket a new musical landmark in Asia.

EDC Thailand 2025 will be held at Boat Avenue Lakefront, Soi Cherngtalay 2, Choeng Thale subdistrict in Phuket’s Thalang district. Parking space for 2,500 vehicles is available at PTT gas station (Pasak branch).
