Dates: May 8-9, 7pm
Price: B3,100-B6,000

International Concerts
Dates: May 8, 8:30pm
Price: B1,000-B,3000
Why you should go: It’s the Bangkok debut of the rising Irish pop-rock band behind radio hits like “Superheroes” and “No Good in Goodbye.” If you’re a fan of The Voice UK, the vocalist is Danny O'Donoghue.
Impact Arena, 99 Popular Rd., 02-833-4455
Dates: May 14, 7pm
Price: B2,000-6,500
Why you should go: Katy Perry’s arguably this generation’s queen of pop. If you know all the words to tracks like “Last Friday Night” and “Roar,” we hope you snagged a ticket before it completely sold out.
Impact Arena, 99 Popular Rd., 02-833-4455
Dates: May 6, 8pm
Price: B1,800-5,000
Why you should go: They’re the five guys responsible for some of the biggest guilty-pleasure tunes from the 90s. Nick Carter’s no longer cute, but you can still sing along to all their hits. Check out our interview with Brian.
Impact Arena, 99 Popular Rd., 02-833-4455
BOYZONE BZ20 THE ANNIVERSARY TOUR
