Siam Songkran "The Melora" 2026
Siam Songkran returns for 2026 with its biggest edition yet: "The Melora" — a four-night festival at Bravo BKK Arena on the iconic RCA (Royal City Avenue) strip.
This is the festival for people who want big names, an indoor/outdoor hybrid venue, and a slightly more club-oriented crowd compared to S2O's arena-festival feel.
Dates: April 11–14, 2026
Venue: Bravo BKK Arena, Royal City Avenue (RCA), Bangkok
Nearest station: MRT Phetchaburi or Asoke (then taxi/Grab to RCA)
Age requirement: 20+ (original passport required)

Afrojack and R3HAB back-to-back is an insane way to open the festival. Two of the most electrifying performers in EDM sharing the same decks for what's expected to be a 90-minute b2b set.

The Saturday lineup is stacked. Alok brings his special Urban Theory visual show, and Marshmello closes the night in full helmet and all-white outfit. Expect a massive production.
Night 3 — Sunday, April 13
| Slot | Artist |
|---|---|
| Opening | Layton Giordani |
| Agents of Time | |
| ARTBAT b2b R3HAB | |
| HEADLINER | Martin Garrix |
This is the headline event of the entire Siam Songkran festival. Martin Garrix is currently ranked #1 DJ in the world by DJ Mag. His Songkran set on April 13 — the peak day of the festival — will be one of the most attended events of the entire week.

| Slot | Artist |
|---|---|
| Opening | DCR Milda |
| Gorgon City | |
| Vini Vici | |
| HEADLINER | John Summit |
April 14 is the closing night and John Summit is the perfect finisher. His deep/tech-house sound is a completely different vibe from the rest of the lineup — expect a long, building set that takes the crowd from tense to euphoric.

The Bravo BKK Arena Experience
Unlike S2O's outdoor water park setup, Siam Songkran at Bravo BKK Arena has both indoor air-conditioned areas and an outdoor water zone. You can escape the heat, dry off, grab food, and come back out for the next act.
RCA has dozens of bars and clubs surrounding the venue. Pre-party and after-party options are everywhere.
Getting There
RCA is not directly on the BTS/MRT. The closest stations are:
- MRT Phetchaburi — then 15-minute taxi/Grab (~฿60-80)
- MRT Asoke / BTS Asok — then 20-minute taxi/Grab
During Songkran, Grab will surge. Budget accordingly and use the pool option if available. Do not rent a motorbike taxi for this — the roads around RCA will be chaotic on festival nights.
