Bangkok Music Festival '69 Presents Free Concert in the Heart of the City with Over 30 Thai and International Artists
Over 30 Thai and international artists perform free across five stages during Bangkok Music Festival '69 on June 13, a 10-hour celebration of music and culture inspired by France's Fête de la Musique.
Bangkok Music Festival '69 is hosting a major free concert in central Bangkok on June 13, bringing together more than 30 Thai and international artists performing continuously for 10 hours across 5 stages. Organized by the French Embassy in Thailand, One Bangkok, the Franco-Thai Association, and Live Promotions, the festival celebrates music and culture, inspired by France's iconic Fête de la Musique. The event runs from 2:00 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, June 13, transforming Bangkok into a large outdoor music venue celebrating artistic diversity, creativity, and unity.
Building on last year's success with over 7,000 attendees, Bangkok Music Festival has become an important cultural event in the capital, attracting diverse audiences. This year's festival promises to be even bigger and more vibrant, with an expanded lineup of Thai, French, and international artists performing live and DJing across five stages throughout the venue. The festival is designed as a true urban music space where audiences can freely move between stages to experience diverse musical atmospheres.
The festival showcases Bangkok's creative identity through genres ranging from pop, molam, hip-hop, and jazz to techno, along with vogueing performances. Each stage has its own unique character, clearly reflecting the diversity and intensity of contemporary artistic expression. Open and free to all, the festival welcomes Thai and international visitors of all ages, offering not only musical performances but also food and beverage vendors, trendy merchandise, interactive activities, and Bangkok Busking street performances that encourage organic artistic expression and full audience participation.
Inspired by France's Fête de la Musique, founded in 1982 by the French Ministry of Culture, Bangkok Music Festival carries forward the vision that music transcends barriers and that culture is a shared public treasure accessible to everyone regardless of genre, background, or experience level. Originally created to bring music to the streets and provide opportunities for amateur and professional musicians to perform freely, Fête de la Musique has grown into a global celebration held in over 120 countries worldwide.
Bangkok Music Festival adapts this concept and spirit to the capital's highly diverse and cosmopolitan context. Through long-term cultural collaboration involving cultural institutions, the private sector, and music experts, the festival helps stimulate the local music scene and strengthens cultural exchange between France and Thailand.
