How to attend
Buy tiered general-admission or VIP passes online via sunburn.in or BookMyShow once sales open in autumn; VIP tables and cabana packages are sold separately. The event is fully open to the public (18+). Exact 2026 dates and the precise Goa venue are typically confirmed late, so verify before locking travel.
The dates, the Goa venue and the passes are all still marked TBA on the official site, so there is nothing on sale - tickets normally appear through the organiser's booking partner in the autumn.
Insider tip
Confirm the venue before booking your hotel - Sunburn's Goa site and dates have shifted between editions, and North Goa traffic on festival nights is punishing.
