Behind the Beat - Bangkok World Music Day 2026

In this episode of Next Station, the cultural series of Alliance On Air, we take you behind the scenes of Bangkok World Music Day 2026, a free music festival inspired by the French Fête de la Musique, taking place on June 13th at One Bangkok and Alliance Française Bangkok.

To understand what makes this event happen, we sat down with the people behind it, representatives from One Bangkok, the French Embassy, Alliance Française Bangkok, and Live Promotions. Each shared their perspective on the partnership, their contribution, and what the festival means to them. Four organisations, four voices, and one shared commitment to bringing free, open-access culture to everyone.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Bangkok World Music Day or hearing about it for the first time, this episode will give you a sense of the energy, the vision, and the people making it all possible.

Enjoy the episode and don't miss the 2026 edition of Bangkok World Music Day, on June 13th, free and open to all.
