HUA HIN, THAILAND – The beach rave event Kolour Hua Hin returned on Saturday, 11 April, as part of the Songkran weekend at The Standard Hua Hin.
Return for the Songkran weekend
Kolour Hua Hin was scheduled for Saturday, 11 April, bringing the beachside event back to The Standard Hua Hin as part of the Songkran holiday program. The organizers positioned the event specifically within the Songkran weekend.
The timetable ran from 14:00 to 23:00, targeting afternoon, sunset and evening sets. The open-air format focused on electronic music and extensive production.
Part of the Kolour festival series
Kolour Hua Hin formed part of the wider Kolour event series. According to the organizers, the format in Hua Hin had developed into one of the most recognized electronic music events in the region.
Key features included open-air settings, large-scale production and curated line-ups. The concept was described as a coastal edition of the Kolour brand.
Concept: beach club atmosphere and production
The organizers aimed for a blend of beach club atmosphere and larger-scale event production. This included design elements and visual installations across the outdoor areas.
For the sound, they emphasized an international standard, using Function-One audio among other systems. The focus was placed clearly on club technology and staging under the open sky.
Line-up: international and Thai acts
This year’s line-up combined international and Thai artists. Headlining was Wildealer, who had recently played in clubs such as DC10 and HĂ¯ Ibiza.
Also announced were Meltmode, who incorporates Thai musical elements into house sets, and Claudine, whose style was described as particularly suitable for late afternoon and sunset sessions.
Local connection: DJ from Hua Hin on the bill
The program also featured Bonita Everitt, a DJ based in Hua Hin. Her sound was described as a mix of deep-house and tribal-house influences.
With this, the line-up linked international club references with local artists. For destination events such as those in Hua Hin, this mix was seen as an added attraction for many visitors.
Audience and travel period: higher demand on holidays
Kolour events had previously drawn both visitors from Bangkok and local audiences. Demand typically increased on long weekends and during holiday periods.
Because the event took place at the start of Songkran, organizers expected higher travel volumes to Hua Hin. Songkran is regarded in Thailand as one of the most important travel and holiday periods of the year.
Tickets and official information
Tickets were made available via Megatix. Further details were to be communicated through the organizers’ official channels.
Those wishing to attend were advised to follow the organizers’ notices on entry, timings and possible updates. Especially on holiday weekends, procedures and demand could change at short notice.
