Bangkok arts and entertainment lineup features music festivals and international tours
Upcoming events at established venues highlight ticketed concerts and free workshops across the city.
How we reported this
The Monster Music Festival opens at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center on July 25 and 26 2026 with standard tickets listed at B2,500 and early-bird options at B1,700.
These dates sit two weeks after the July 15 filing deadline for this report, giving local residents a narrow window to secure passes through official channels listed on Time Out Bangkok. The festival joins a sequence of other confirmed programs that stretch into 2027 and draw performers from multiple countries.
Music events anchor the second half of 2026
BICT Fest 2026 begins August 21 and runs through August 30 with eleven international performances featuring artists from Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Belgium, France and the UK. Listings appear on Eventbrite pages dedicated to Bangkok arts programming. Atsuko Okatsuka’s The Big Bowl Tour and Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun Tour are both slated for November 2026, adding stand-up and pop dates to the calendar.
Westlife’s 25th Anniversary World Tour concert is confirmed for Impact Arena on January 25 2027. The same month the 2026 FOBISIA Battle of the Bands final takes place on January 31 near Pak Kret, providing a separate platform for student musicians.
Free access programs expand participation
The Bangkok Inclusive Art Festival ran April 1-12 2026 at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre with free admission and workshops centered on accessibility and diversity. Organizers documented the program on BKK Art Mag, establishing a model for later paid and free events that share the same venue network.
Residents planning attendance can cross-reference current listings on Eventbrite Thailand Bangkok pages and Instagram accounts that post updates for Impact Arena and Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. Checking these platforms directly supplies the latest ticket availability and any schedule adjustments for the remaining 2026 and early 2027 dates.
