Tokyo’s genre-bending quintet Kroi are finally landing in Thailand, and it’s about time. Since forming in 2018, they’ve gone from late-night jam sessions to festival staples, threading funk, soul and experimental rock into something that sounds both futuristic and faintly nostalgic. Their name has hovered across every major Japanese stage – Fuji Rock, Summer Sonic, Rising Sun, Rock in Japan – with a swagger that’s hard to fake. By 2023 they’d climbed into Japan’s top 10 most-booked festival acts, filling arenas like Budokan and PIA Arena MM with audiences who knew every offbeat chord. Critics call them innovators; fans call them electric. Between MTV awards, a Forbes 30 Under 30 nod and their unshakeable cool, Kroi aren’t just visiting Thailand – they’re bringing a movement with them.
November 30. B900 via here and B1,200 at the door. Blueprint Livehouse, 6.30pm
