Phuket Concert Season 2026/27: Who Is Playing at Lotus Arena
In winter Phuket is not only about the beach. From late December the island opens its big concert season, and the main venue — Lotus Arena in Bang Tao — brings stars of the Russian-language and Asian scene to the stage almost every week.
We went through the line-up and put everything in one place: dates, names and how not to miss out on the New Year shows.
What Lotus Arena is
Lotus Arena is a modern concert hall in Bang Tao (Choeng Thale, Thalang District). It is easy to reach from Bang Tao, Laguna and Surin; from Patong or Karon it takes about 30–40 minutes by car. Arrive early: parking and the approach roads are busy in high season.

How to get tickets in time
The New Year and early January dates are the most in demand and sell out roughly a month ahead. The calmest option is to buy right after the announcement, on official platforms, rather than paying resellers.
If you are wintering here, a concert is a good reason to leave your own area and see how another part of the island lives: Bang Tao in the evening feels very different from the beach by day.
