Get ready for a massive second weekend of 2026, with Bangkok firing on all cylinders across music, film, art, and family-friendly events.
The city is buzzing with the return of the Bangkok Open-Air Film Festival, turning Lan Khon Muang into a giant outdoor cinema, and there are free concerts in public parks, late-night club nights, and some heavyweight international bookings. 2026 is off to a packed start.
Live music leads the charge. Mercury Prize–winning indie band Wolf Alice headlines a major Sunday night show, while electronic fans are spoiled for choice with Alle Farben at Mustache, hard techno at Subwerk, drum and bass royalty DJ Hype and DJ Hazard at Jungle Jam BKK, and multiple underground DJ nights spread across Silom and Sukhumvit. For something more relaxed, the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra returns to Lumpini Park, and jazz and bluegrass sessions round out Sunday evening.
