Chiang Mai's finest dream-pop export comes home for a proper headline show. YONLAPA – widely tipped as one of Thailand's classiest live acts – spend years winning hearts across Asia with their hazy, atmospheric sound, and now they're ready to throw their biggest party yet.
The band wrap a sprawling Asia tour in May, then drop a teaser on their fan page promising a first-ever full-scale solo gig in the capital. Today the details land, courtesy of Fungjai, the crew behind the new Fungjai SOLO Series, a concert strand built to spotlight each act's quirks and signature through carefully curated sets.
Hot on the heels of Bomb at Track's emotional farewell at Volume Livehouse (that one's SOLO Series 01), it's YONLAPA's turn to shine in Fungjai SOLO Series 02: YONLAPA 'Homebound'. The group and organisers keep the setlist tightly under wraps, but both promise a night that looks nothing like anything they've staged before. Expect a genuine milestone for a band that climbs from the northern city's underground rooms all the way to international billing.
You catch them on August 28 at Volume Livehouse, 5th floor of The Street Ratchada – and happily, all ages get the nod. Rounding up your mates pays off too, since the group rates knock a little off when you buy together.
