When September 16
Where Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani
The rap disruptor, style icon and Grammy magnet is finally bringing his technicolor universe to Bangkok. Tyler’s Chromakopia tour is pure chaos in the best way: wild visuals, unpredictable energy and a setlist stacked with tracks from his eighth album. With Lil Yachty and Paris Texas on the bill too, this is less a concert and more a hip-hop carnival.
