POY Festival is back in Chiang Mai on 14–15 November 2026, bringing together Thai country music, alternative rock, reggae, psychedelic sounds and DJ culture at Kad Dhara Dhevi. 

With its full lineup now revealed, the festival invites music lovers and curious travellers to discover the breadth of Thailand’s music scene in a city known for its creative spirit.

Under the concept “Sound Spirit Space,” POY celebrates the connections between music, people and place. Rooted in Chiang Mai’s music community and a shared passion for vinyl records, the festival creates a meeting point for artists, collectors, DJs and listeners from different generations and musical backgrounds.

This year’s lineup offers plenty of reasons to explore beyond your usual listening habits. Thai country music star Arpaporn Nakhonsawan joins a bill featuring Flure, Ornaree, Desktop Error and Yellow Fang, alongside the reggae sounds of Srirajah Rockers, the distinctive Phin of Khun Narin, and the collaboration Rasmee x Sunder.

The appeal lies in those unexpected connections: seeing a familiar favourite, finding a band you have never heard before and sharing the experience with people drawn together by a love of music.

For international visitors, POY offers an inviting introduction to the variety of contemporary Thai music. For audiences closer to home, it is an opportunity to reconnect with favorite artists while discovering sounds from across different scenes.

The festival also makes a compelling starting point for a Chiang Mai weekend. Explore the city’s neighbourhoods, food and creative spaces, then spend two days immersed in live performances and DJ sets with fellow music lovers.

Whether you come for a particular artist, a passion for records or the pleasure of discovering something unexpected, there is room for you at POY.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your friends. Find your next favourite sound in Chiang Mai.
