From March 17 to 21, 2027, SXM Festival returns for its tenth edition on the French-Dutch island. Five days and five nights of electronic music across beaches, open-air stages and satellite parties, with Happy Bay on the French side as the main hub.
The gathering draws an international crowd (50-plus nationalities in past years) and spreads across venues: main stages at Happy Bay (Arc Stage and Ocean Stage), official day parties (kickoff, sunrise at Bamboo Beach, Joa Beach daytime sessions depending on the schedule) and limited-capacity satellite nights such as Panorama and the Villa Party.
Passes and tickets
Five-day passes are already on sale at sxmfestival.com, listed around USD 495 in the first 2027 release. They cover main Happy Bay events plus official day parties. Three-day passes cover any three consecutive days from the moment the wristband is activated.

- 5-day pass: priority for Panorama and the Villa Party (separate satellite tickets, on sale early 2027)
- 3-day pass: second-tier priority for the Villa Party; Panorama is 5-day holders only
- Pick up the wristband at will call with the Easol barcode and matching ID
On the ground
Happy Bay carries most of the program. Re-entry is generally not allowed there, so plan to stay for the set. The site runs cashless (card or cash top-up on the wristband). No general festival shuttles (except announced transport to the Villa Party): taxis, rental cars or a designated driver remain the practical way to move between spots.
The 2027 lineup was not published yet when this piece went live; past editions mixed house and techno with international headliners. An official app is meant to carry set times, maps and live updates during the festival.
For a stay around those dates, arriving a little before March 17 leaves time to explore the island beyond the stages. Details and tickets: sxmfestival.com. Contact: info@sxmfestival.com.
