Burning Crab 2026: What’s Coming to the Coast

We return to Cox’s Bazar with the same wild spirit, and this time, with even more heart. The beach will pulse with art and light installations that invite you inside, wellness circles that flow from dawn to dusk, and music that moves your soul. Dive into immersive worlds and handcrafted spaces, each designed for real connection and pure joy. Each stage is brought to life as a walkable night by festival architect Jiro Endo, whose sculptural forms and light installations (seen at Wonderfruit’s Quarry) transform each sound world into a living environment.

Crab Dreamer (Main Stage)

This is where Burning Crab’s heartbeat pounds loudest. As the sun dips, local heroes and international headliners weave together exuberant rhythms, from soulful electronica at dusk to anthemic sets under a canopy of stars. Expect moments of pure collective euphoria; hands in the air, feet in the sand, and a shared pulse that carries you long after the final track fades.

Flames by the Sea

As darkness falls, the Mermaid Beach Resort arena transforms into a dreamland by the sea. Skilled fire spinners perform along to the swaying beats, weaving flames into mesmerizing dances that paint the night with golden light. Watch artists breathe fire into the ocean breeze while the shoreline glows like something out of a fairy tale. These beachside fire shows aren't just performances, they're rituals that connect us to the ancient magic of flame, water, and starlit skies.
