What the announcement includes — and what it doesn't
The organizer's post confirms only the dates, location and edition number; no full artist lineup was included in the same post. The post also tags #ททท (Tourism Authority of Thailand), #thestallionthailand and #อิชิตัน (the Ichitan beverage brand).
Esan refers to the northeastern region of Thailand, and "Esan Khiao" translates literally as "Green Esan." The festival uses the open highland terrain around the dam as its site and is one of the larger annual outdoor music events in the region.
