Gojira may have slayed at the Opening Ceremony in Paris, but the soothing tones of Air, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, out of Versailles will be headlining Maho Rasop in Bangkok this November.

 

This is the first headliner for the mega festival slated for November 23-24, known for their melodic, funky tunes. You’ll also know this band from director Sophia Coppala’s movies like their “Virgin Suicides” hit in 2000, “Playground Love” and on the soundtracks for “Lost in Translation” and “Marie Antoinette”.
 

This showing at Maho Rasop will be part of the group's  25th-anniversary tour, dubbed “Moon Safari”, featuring tracks from the eponymous album. 

 

The rest of the lineup for this year’s Maho Rasop has yet to be announced. Last year’s outing included the likes of Idles, Interpol, and Atarashii Gakko. Phase one tickets are on sale now starting at B4,490 for a two-day pass, available online. 

 

Other festivals to watch for include next weekend’s Unseen from August 9-10 putting up big tunes for the EDM crowd. November will also see Rolling Loud’s second Thailand outing, featuring Asap Rocky, Tyla, and Wiz Khalifa.
