Big Mountain Music Festival returns this December under a new name and concept: Big Mountain Village. Swap Bangkok’s heat and traffic for Khao Yai’s cooler air and mountain views with two days of live music, food, drinks and festival fun at its new venue, Farm Chokchai 3.
For Bangkok music fans, the trip to Khao Yai has become an annual pilgrimage: a little nature, a lot of music and enough food and drinks to make the weekend either unforgettable or a complete blur. Either way, you’ll come back with stories.
Bringing together Thailand’s biggest chart-topping artists across multiple stages, from bands and solo artists to boy and girl groups, covering just about every genre. Many could headline their own concerts; here, they share one enormous bill.
Chances are you’ve heard more than a few of them without realising it – at 7-Eleven, in a shopping mall, on a taxi radio or somewhere else in your daily Bangkok routine.
Lineup sorted; now for the venue. The move to Farm Chokchai 3 comes with promises to tackle some of festivalgoers’ biggest past complaints, including limited parking, too few toilets and stages so far apart that catching everything felt like a workout.
Whether the new home delivers remains to be seen. Tickets go on sale on Sep 4, starting at B2,000 for an ‘Early Cow’ pass (regular price B2,500). ‘VIP Cow’ tickets cost B4,000 (regular price B5,000) and include fast-track entry, dedicated viewing areas, elevated platforms, VIP toilets and charging stations.
‘Big Mountain Music Village’ isn’t only about the music. It has also become a place for friends to finally catch up, even when they live in the same city. Camp for the weekend, roam between stages and take in the atmosphere together.
Round up the gang and head for the hills for two days of music, food and fun you’ll hopefully remember.
Dec 12-13. From B2,000. Tickets available at all 7-Eleven branches, the All Ticket website and the TICKETIER website. Farm Chokchai 3, Khao Yai. Doors open at noon
