Physical editions of music festivals are unfortunately not commendable in the ‘new normal’, where everyone has to face the reality of the pandemic-ridden year and continue practicing social distancing. Fortunately, we live in the era of technological advances.
We can still continue the partying, we just have to make do with online versions of it. Most of you might have already experienced it through the virtual music festivals held this year. If you haven’t, this weekend’s your chance!
Party the weekend away at Bangkok Music City, deets as below:

Festival co-founder Piyapong ‘Py’ Muenprasertdee, who worked in a sustainability and climate change consultancy before he started BMC, previously told Gig Life Pro, “On a larger scale, I envision BMC to become a vehicle to help support the sustainable development of the creative industries—starting with my field of work, which is music.
“I wanted to find a way to make the music industry more sustainable and turn [being an] indie musician into a stable career choice.”
Hence why Bangkok Music City is more than just a music festival, it is billed as an entertainment and technology summit, and will feature talks and sessions on music copyright, gaming and e-sports, artificial intelligence, music streaming, political communications, and a sprawling array of related subject areas.
