Thailand's music scene continues to thrive, drawing international festivals and top-tier artists to its vibrant stages year after year. One of the most anticipated events is the renowned Japanese music festival, Summer Sonic. Following its phenomenal success last year, the festival is set to return on August 23-24 at Impact Challenger Hall 1-3, promising an even bigger and better experience.
This year’s lineup boasts an exciting roster of acclaimed Korean and Japanese artists, with Bangkok serving as Summer Sonic’s first stop outside of Japan. Just days ago, the initial wave of performers was unveiled, sparking buzz with a mix of global icons and regional stars.
Topping the bill is none other than the legendary American hip-hop group, Black Eyed Peas. Known for their infectious party anthems, they’ll deliver a full one-hour set packed with hits like ‘My Humps’ and ‘Hey Mama’.
Another headline act making waves is Cuban-American superstar Camila Cabello, who will perform in Bangkok for the very first time. Fans can expect her sultry vocals, Latin-inspired beats, and magnetic stage presence as she takes on chart-toppers like ‘Havana’ and ‘Señorita.’
Japanese music enthusiasts will be thrilled by the return of Babymetal, the kawaii metal trio who wowed audiences at last year’s festival. Back with an electrifying setlist, they’ll perform global hits such as ‘Gimme Chocolate!!’, ‘KARATE’, and ‘PA PA YA!!’, delivering a unique fusion of heavy metal and Japanese pop.
Local talent will also take center stage, with Thailand's beloved T-pop boy band, BUS, representing the home crowd. With their massive Gen Z following, all 12 members are gearing up to showcase high-energy performances and flawless choreography. Fans can look forward to hits like ‘Because of You, I Shine’, ‘Watch Your Step’ and ‘Liar’.
And this is just the beginning. The festival promises additional artist announcements in the weeks to come, building even more anticipation. While ticket pricing and sales dates haven’t been revealed yet, fans can stay updated by visiting the official Summer Sonic website for the latest information.
