Octopus Music Festival 2026 delivered a top performance to close out the summer. Organized by Sixty-Nine My Station Co., Ltd., the festival generated such strong demand that accommodations at Na Dan Beach, Khanom District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, were fully booked. This eagerly awaited return truly lived up to expectations.
The festival's comeback saw overwhelming fan support, with promotional tickets selling out rapidly. Upon arrival, fans were greeted by giant squid figures scattered throughout the venue, perfect for photo opportunities and check-ins. A large squid on stage captivated everyone, symbolizing the creator of the night's joy.
The ultimate fun at Na Dan Beach kicked off brilliantly with cool vibes from SARAN, a rapper beloved by Gen Z with viral hits. Though his set was brief, it quickly heated up the atmosphere.

As night fell, UrboyTJ took the stage with stylish hip-hop infused with charming touches. His rapid-fire rap sections were fun for many to sing along with. Afterward, Singto Numchok, the surfing enthusiast and beloved elder brother figure on this stage, performed. No other Thai artist matches his ability to capture the good beach day atmosphere with his songs.
Following the pop artists' heartfelt moments, the rock fans were energized by Silly Fools, whose hits from the ’90s through Gen Z eras kept the audience captivated. Their rock anthems were accompanied by spectacular fireworks displays. Then POTATO brought relentless energy, thrilling fans who sang along to every song.
