Japan's Hostess Club Weekender festival series is coming to Bangkok
The cat is out of the bag after two big names confirmed they're bound for Bangkok on Facebook.
UPDATE: It's official. Hostess Asia last night posted the following promotional poster revealing the full lineup for the first Hostess Club Bangkok (Feb 19-20, 2015). You can read our original breaking story below.
This morning, much-loved British psychedelic rockers Temples announced on their Facebook page that they will perform in Bangkok on Feb 20 at GMM Live House as part of The Hostess Club Bangkok festival. The move was echoed by Thurston Moore, of legendary rockers Sonic Youth, who made a similar announcement.
Started in Japan, the Hostess Club is a series of music festivals that take place in various venues over the course of a weekend. The first Bangkok edition is set for Feb 19-20.
While Temples and Moore look like lock-ins at this stage, a quick glimpse at the lineup for Singapore's The Gathering (Feb 14) suggests indie acts Real Estate and Belle and Sebastian are others in serious contention for a Bangkok sojourn.
What we do know is that tickets will go on sale via Thaiticketmajor from Jan 30 onwards at B1,000 per day (B1,800 for two-day pass).
The festival is more good news for Bangkok’s live music scene, following the recent announcement that How to Dress Well is coming to town.
Stay tuned to BK for more. See videos for Temples and Real Estate below.
