Live RCA will close down at the end of June
Bangkok nightlife's latest casualty.
The latest casualty in Bangkok's recent string of nightlife closures is Live RCA, one of Bangkok's biggest venues for fans of indie music and niche DJs.
The venue confirmed directly to us that they will close at the end of June. "The rent is simply too high," says the venue's management. "We can't make enough to cover the costs."
However, the closure of the nightclub, which only used to operate on nights when they held events, does not mean the end for the Live name as a Bangkok party organizer.
"We will continue with our shows in other venues," they said. "We as a team are not going to stop doing our events."
The venue was established in April 2015 and quickly became a home for local promoters and gig organizers to put on events.
The space has hosted many indie international artists including Neon Indian, Bondax, Kartell, Darius, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Crystal castles.
Though dates are currently unannouced, Live as a party organizer has some interesting names lined up for the future. Parisian electro DJ FKJ, British singer-songwriter Lucy Rose, and Berlin-based DJ Claptone are all confirmed, though dates and venues have yet to be announced.
