Bangkok’s historic Hua Lamphong Train Station will transform into a cultural crossroads this July 9 as 88rising presents Road to FAM – The Finale. The two-day event marks the culmination of their Southeast Asian tour, bringing together regional stars like Thailand’s MILLI, Malaysia’s ZAMAERA, Indonesia’s RAMENGVRL, and the Philippines’ Zack Tabudlo under one roof for a one-night only live performance. More than just a concert, the finale leverages the iconic venue to create a physical manifestation of 88rising’s Future Asian Music (FAM) initiative, a new platform supporting independent Asian artists.
Tabudlo’s inclusion provides crucial diversity to a hip-hop heavy lineup. As one of the only few non-rap acts, he represents a different creative approach within the regional music conversation, one that could spark unexpected dialogues between Thailand and Manila and their respective muisc scenes.
Parallel to the performances, 88rising will launch FAM Studios Bangkok in partnership with local tech collective Cloud 11. Located at The Corner House in Talat Noi district, the space offers recording facilities, mentorship programs, and cross-border collaboration opportunities for emerging artists.
“FAM takes our mission to amplify Asian talent on the world stage to the next level,” says 88rising founder Sean Miyashiro at a press statement. The studios aim to provide resources often inaccessible to independent creators, from production equipment to global networking channels.
Tickets to Future Asian Music x Levi’s® Road to FAM – The Finale are available via Megatix, here. Admission is free. RSVP required. Ages 20+.
