Summer Sonic, the renowned Japanese music festival, has just revealed plans for its inaugural edition in Bangkok, Thailand, set to unfold on August 24th and 25th, 2024, at the Impact Arena in Muang Thong Thani.
While the lineup remains a closely guarded secret, Summer Sonic assures fans that the first wave of artists and bands will be unveiled in the coming months, with an announcement expected late January to February.
In 2023, Summer Sonic dazzled audiences across Tokyo, Osaka, and Makuhari Messe, featuring an impressive roster of global talents spanning rock, electronic, and hip-hop genres. Acts like Blur, Kendrick Lamar, Evanescence, and ENHYPHEN graced the stages, leaving a lasting imprint on the festival’s vibrant history.
Summer Sonic’s decision to venture into Bangkok marks a significant development. The festival has traditionally been a platform for both established and up-and-coming artists, especially those hailing from Asia. In the words of Naoki Shimizu, CEO of Creativeman, “Summer Sonic Bangkok will start as a means to connect the world with music from Japan.” This move is seen as an opportunity for artists to break into the Asian and global markets.
Additionally, Summer Sonic Osaka undergoes a transformation, relocating to the Expo ’70 Commemorative Park, symbolizing a new chapter in its 15-year history. Despite the change, the commitment to delivering unforgettable live performances remains steadfast, promising a festival experience amidst nature’s serene backdrop.
So, mark your calendars for a musical extravaganza with Summer Sonic Bangkok on August 24th-25th, 2024, and stay tuned for the much-anticipated lineup announcement in the coming weeks. Get ready to immerse yourself in the harmonious blend of diverse sounds, as Summer Sonic continues to spread its musical magic across the globe!
