This year Pattaya's iconic Music Festival takes place on June 14th and 15th. Depending on the music style, the concerts will take place on stages on the beaches of North Pattaya, South Pattaya or Jomtien. Please note: Due to the well-known and mostly unusable - or even wrong - information policy of Pattaya City Hall, many international websites have published wrong event dates. Correct is that the event will take place on Friday, June 14th and Saturday, June 15th, 2019. Concerts are scheduled to start at about 17:00. They have to end at about 22:30.

Main Stage (the green one) is at Paloma (Pattaya Central Road). Stage #2 (the blue one) is in North Pattaya. Opposite the new Amari Hotels. Stage #3 (the yellow one) is on Jomtien Beach, probably in the corner of Thappraya Road/Jomtien Beach Road. According to Pattaya Mail the venue happens at Jomtien’s multi-purpose sports zone (unknown by Google and by people living or working in Jomtien...). The drawing says South Road, but there is no South Road in Jomtien! As we told you before, Information from Pattaya City Hall are mostly useless, incomplete or incorrect.
