Arctic Monkeys – March 9

Alex Turner is someone who was born to perform who just happened to be the frontman of Arctic Monkeys, rock music’s premier tastemakers. We can’t emphasise it enough that Turner is a rare gem of a performer, and you need to see him belt out “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor,” “Fluorescent Adolescent,” and “R U Mine” at least once in your life. It’s Bangkok’s turn to be mesmerised this March, and if the reviews of their most recent shows are any indication, you’re in for an unforgettable night.

Rolling Loud – April 13-15

In what’s possibly the hypest event in Thailand this year, the world’s biggest acts will be flocking to Pattaya for Rolling Loud’s debut in Thailand. Cardi B, Travis Scoot, Lil Uzi Vert, and Chris Brown are the most notable performers, and that should probably lock in your ticket purchase for the event. This amazingly stacked festival has no rival in 2023, and if you’ve been saving for a concert, this is the time to put that money to good use.

Don’t wait to get your three-day passes, with tickets starting at THB13,000.

Louis Tomlinson – April 22

The former One Direction member isn’t slowing down, with the “Faith in the Future” Tour putting the English singer all over the world. And, as most recent events would suggest, 1D’s alums never disappoint when it comes to entertainment. You know you’re getting “Just Hold On,” “Back to You,” and “Miss You,” all of which legitimise his claim as one of pop’s best crooners.

Tickets start from THB1,500.

Jeff Bernat – Jun. 13

Filipino-American singer Jeff Bernat is one of the best new-age R&B has to offer, which is why it was heart-breaking to have had his night in Bangkok postponed. Never mind that, though, as he has a new date with his Thai fans. With a catalogue of candy-sweet hits like “Call You Mine,” “Pillow Talk,” and “Angel 2 Me,” this is the perfect date night/concert to go with your other half.
