About this event

Halfmoon Festival runs over two days, 4 and 5 October 2026, in Ban Tai on Koh Phangan. Day one is a beach party at Harmony Beach Club from 2 pm. Day two moves inland to Halfmoon Magic Forest, where the music runs from 21:30 until sunrise on three stages.

Halfmoon is separate from the Full Moon Party at Haad Rin. The organisers set an age limit of 20 and over, so carry proof of age. The forest stages are called The Prime Stage, G Floor and The Cave, and the styles range from progressive trance and melodic techno to deep house and experimental live acts. Because day two is outdoors in the forest, the weather matters, and the night is long, so plan how you will get back to your accommodation. Tickets are sold through Megatix.

Parties on Koh Phangan

Koh Phangan is where Thailand's party reputation comes from. The Full Moon Party fills Haad Rin's Sunrise Beach once a month, with bars playing different music along the sand, fire shows and a start around 21:00. Dates sometimes move a day when the full moon falls on a Buddhist holy day, as with 27 October 2026. Smaller Half Moon and Jungle parties run in forest clearings inland from Ban Tai, and a weekly Friday jungle party runs there too. Haad Rin is reached from Thong Sala pier by shared taxi, tuk-tuk or minibus, and an entry ticket is sold at the beach alleys on the night.

Around Ban Tai

Ban Tai, or Baan Tai, is on Phangan's south coast, about a 10-minute drive south of Thong Sala according to one listing. It is the base for the island's forest parties: the Halfmoon Magic Forest is about ten minutes inland from the Ban Tai strip, and Jungle Experience and a weekly Friday jungle party also stage nights in the trees. On the beach, Ku Club is an open-air venue with resident performers. Wat Khao Tham, a hillside temple and meditation centre, overlooks the coast from above the village. Songthaew pick-ups serve the area.
