Givēon peddles a particular kind of devastation as a singer. What many call velvet smooth heartbreak, wrapped in a deep baritone that could make a breakup sound almost beautiful. The seven-time Grammy-nominated R&B singer has announced his first ever Thai concert. It's part of his Dear Beloved Tour, named after his second studio album Beloved, which dropped last July to critical praise and reached number eight on the Billboard 200. The new album continues mining that same vein with tracks like 'Twenties' and 'Rather Be' exploring the peculiar pain of wasted time and hindsight regret.

Givēon told Rolling Stone that Beloved 'was made live, so it's made to be performed live'. He's bringing strings, horns, background vocals and a full eight to 10 piece band to create what he describes as a 'movie-like world' on stage.

Japanese songwriter Ichiko Aoba has just dropped Luminescent Creatures, an album that's getting serious love from all the fans. Aoba's known for pairing simple yet refined arrangements with deeply personal lyrics that feel like you've stumbled into a private universe containing just you and the music. Luminescent Creatures captures all that dreamy intensity she's famous for.

This new album takes inspiration from her travels around the Ryukyu Islands in Okinawa, where she went diving in the surrounding seas. The result is a dreamy collection that captures both the endless beauty and the thrilling unpredictability of the ocean itself.

ONE OK ROCK has been smashing it in Thailand for a decade now. The Japanese rock quartet first hit Central World Live back in 2013, then Thunder Dome in 2016 and Impact Arena in 2018. Their most recent gig on December 12 2023 sold out completely, with thousands of fans calling it one of the best shows they'd ever seen.

Now the band returns with their latest album DETOX performed live in full. Critics reckon it's their deepest and most globally ambitious record yet. Lead single Tropical Therapy has won serious praise from fans and music press alike for its raw emotion, powerful sound and genre bending approach. If their track record is anything to go by, this show is going to be massive.

A pop-rock band that tells stories of sharp emotions Three Man Down are poised to hit another important milestone with this concert at Supachalasai Stadium, a space they believe has a certain energy that has helped shape the band's growth. A stadium that's just the right size, not too big to lose focus, and not too small to unleash the collective emotions of fans. This scale expansion is an all-around show upgrade, including production, lights, colours, sound and energy from over 30,000 audience members, along with a tighter setlist featuring songs from their third album, which was designed specifically for big stages, complemented by special guests that fans are waiting for. In one word, this isn't just a concert, but further proof of Three Man Down's power on a true stadium-level stage.

After 55 years, one of electronic music's most groundbreaking acts is finally heading to Bangkok. Kraftwerk, the German pioneers who basically invented the blueprint for everything from techno to EDM. If you're not familiar, Kraftwerk have been at it since the '70s, crafting those instantly recognisable synthesiser sounds and robotic vocals that changed music forever. Their influence is everywhere: synth-pop, electro, industrial, house. Pretty much every genre that uses a drum machine owes them a debt. But what makes them special is how they stripped everything back to its essentials, creating these hypnotic, repetitive patterns that feel almost mathematical in their precision.

It's rare to catch a band this influential playing Bangkok, especially one that treats their performances like proper multimedia art installations. If you've ever wanted to experience 'Autobahn' or 'The Model' in person whilst being completely mesmerised by cutting-edge visuals, this is your moment.

It’s the sort of line-up that keeps things moving from start to finish.

King Gnu, one of Japan’s leading rock bands, officially announce their arrival in Bangkok with the King Gnu CEN+RAL Tour 2026. The group – Daiki Tsuneta, Yu Seki, Kazuki Arai and Satoru Iguchi – never settles for neat labels. Rock and pop sit alongside Alternative, Soul, Jazz and more, stitched together as their now-signature ‘Tokyo New Mixture Style,’ recognised well beyond Japan. The rise starts with Sympa and the breakout ‘Hakujitsu’ (白日), a nationwide hit that shifts everything. Follow-up album CEREMONY lands at No. 1 on the Oricon charts, bringing both acclaim and serious sales. Momentum builds fast. ‘Ichizu / Sakayume’ from Jujutsu Kaisen 0 tops the Oricon singles chart, leading to their first Tokyo Dome shows, two sold-out nights. ‘SPECIALZ’ follows, racks up streams, and now THE GREATEST UNKNOWN keeps global attention firmly locked.

Atlanta has a knack for producing rappers who've spent years sharpening every syllable to cut clean through noise. J.I.D is one of them, all restless energy and lyrical precision with the kind of stage presence that makes you forget to blink. He's been on music's radar since 2015, when his DiCaprio EP introduced him as the wiry, fast-talking storyteller from Atlanta's east side.  

Then came the Grammy nods, the near two billion stream collaboration with Imagine Dragons, and last year's album The Forever Story. On stage he's known for something rarer though, total control. No pyrotechnics needed, just a mic and a crowd that knows every line.

After winning over Thai fans at Summer Sonic 2024, Laufey now confirms her first solo concert here: ‘Laufey: A Matter of Time Tour in Bangkok.’ Not a bad follow-up, really. She blends jazz, classical and contemporary pop with timeless lyrics and carefully arranged melodies. The result carries both energy and emotion, giving her that quietly addictive pull audiences seem to latch onto worldwide. The tour follows her Grammy win for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for A Matter of Time at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in 2026. Her third full-length album, produced by Spencer Stewart and Aaron Dessner, sharpens that signature further with emotionally resonant melodies and deeply moving lyrics. With over 4.25 billion Spotify streams and 23 million followers, she’s hardly niche. Add Billboard highs, Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME’s Women of the Year, and the picture becomes pretty clear.

We just had Post Malone announce his Big Ass World Tour, and now another one lands worth circling. Daniel Caesar, the 30-year-old soul and R&B artist often dubbed ‘the man with the voice of heaven’, brings his Son of Spergy Tour to Bangkok. He starts turning heads back in 2014 with early EPs, but Freudian properly sets things off. ‘Get You’ and ‘Best Part’ quickly become favourites and earn Grammy nods, while collaborations with bigger names quietly cement his place among contemporary soul’s most compelling voices. His latest, Son of Spergy, stretches the sound further, weaving soul, folk and stranger textures while circling faith, identity and the messier bits of being human. Live, new material sits alongside reworked classics, so everyone has something to hold onto – from ‘Who Knows’ to ‘Japanese Denim’, with ‘Best Part’ right on cue.

This work follows a reclusive young woman and her inner world. She may seem distant, slightly out of step with everything around her, but within her own space she finds a rare kind of freedom, one that doesn’t need permission. Across her career, Mitski releases seven studio albums, each sharpening her voice. ‘My Love Mine All Mine’ turns global, landing 4× Platinum and securing her place on the international stage. She also writes beyond her own records: contributing to Florence and the Machine’s latest album, and teaming up with David Byrne and Son Lux on ‘This Is a Life,’ later nominated at the Academy Awards. A musical take on The Queen’s Gambit is also in progress. ‘Nothing’s About to Happen to Me’ Tour lands as one to catch in Thailand.

The famous duo from England, HONNE, known for hit songs such as ‘Day 1,’ ‘Location Unknown’ and ‘No Song Without You’, return to Bangkok as a major stop on their 10 Year Anniversary Tour – and if you caught them last year, you already know this is one you don't want to miss. It’s sure to be a belter. Named after the Japanese word for inner desires and the contrast of how you act in public, tracks like Warm on a Cold Night through to Love Me / Love Me Not make a fitting concept for Bangkok’s quietly lustful, behind-closed-doors culture. However, word from recent shows suggests a more intimate turn, with stripped back moments and a heart-forward delivery echoing how they first come together. If you went last year, expect a different side entirely.

It's been over two decades since My Chemical Romance first stitched eyeliner into the cultural fabric, and now, after years of rumour, rupture and reunion, the band is finally heading to Thailand. For those who spent their adolescence tucked inside a hoodie, humming Helena under their breath, this is more than a concert. It's collective catharsis. Formed in 2001 by Gerard Way with brother Mikey, Ray Toro and Frank Iero, My Chemical Romance rose from post-9/11 disillusionment with a sound that flitted between theatrical and feral. 

Their second album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge launched them into the mainstream, but it was The Black Parade that etched their name into eyeliner-stained lore. After disbanding in 2013 with a cryptic farewell, the band returned in 2019 for a sold-out reunion in Los Angeles, then took that dark magic global.
