Bangkok Music City 2026

A Vibrant Fusion of Cultures,
Celebrating the World Through Sound

Remarkable talent is set to electrify Bangkok’s stage as Bangkok Music City (BMC) returns on January 24–25, 2026, bringing together artists from around the world to celebrate the unifying power of music. With over 70 performers lined up, there’s no shortage of inspiration, innovation, and discovery.

Take advantage of Thailand’s biggest music festival and conference to elevate your artistry and build game-changing connections that could spark your next breakthrough.

Filipinos Bring the Heat to Bangkok’s Music Fest

A strong platform for both creative expression and business growth is essential for any artist’s career, and Bangkok Music City is the right place for this. As the Charoenkrung Creative District becomes a gateway for collaboration, performance, and industry exchange, the Philippines is taking a major step toward strengthening its presence in Southeast Asian music.

For the first time, the country will join Bangkok Music City through an official, country-led delegation under CREATEPhilippines. Through CITEM’s partnership with BMC, this initiative opens new opportunities for Filipino artists to showcase their talent, build international networks, and access regional and global markets.
