FVTURE Bangkok, Southeast Asia’s Largest Hyperclub to Debut this December

club shot

The 6000-capacity space promises a full spectrum experience with game changing light and sound 

A nightlife revolution is coming to central Bangkok with the opening of FVTURE, a new global nightlife landmark built to hold a staggering 6,000 people. FVTURE is the first Asian Hyperclub to be built on this vast scale and is the most technologically adventurous venue in the region. It has been built from scratch with a unique vision and unwavering passion that will set a new benchmark in entertainment, sound and immersive design. FVTURE is set to launch this December.

Designed to rival the most iconic venues across Ibiza, Las Vegas and Berlin, FVTURE is a leap into tomorrow; a purpose-built, next-generation hyper club where cutting-edge audio-visual technology and world-class electronic music converge in one multi-sensory explosion. 

FVTURE arrives at a pivotal time for Thailand’s creative economy as the government opens the doors to global events like Tomorrowland, EDC, Creamfields and Circoloco. Until now, Bangkok has lacked a singular venue capable of hosting artists and audiences on an international scale. FVTURE fills that void and then some.

With state-of-the-art production, VIP lounges, modular side stages and a calendar open to global touring shows, label takeovers and live performances, FVTURE is poised to position Bangkok firmly at the heart of the Asian electronic music scene. 

Say Co-founders Victor and Michele Wang, “FVTURE is a statement of intent. Bangkok has long deserved a venue that stands alongside the global greats and that’s exactly what we’ve built. From sound to visuals to community, we’ve designed FVTURE from the ground up to really break into new frontiers and give Asia the truly mind-blowing club it’s long deserved. The team we build is key to this – we put big importance on personality when hiring staff and only bring onboard people that are excited about FVTURE. This helps us set exactly the right and define the special character of the whole project.”

FVTURE’s main room is powered by the first ever L2 & L2D L-Acoustic system in Asia, boasting over 40 subwoofers and a multi-array configuration for unparalleled sound clarity and punch. Visuals are equally mind-blowing with 500sqm of LED wall at the front and another 500sqm of modular LED throughout the venue creating a 360° visual playground. .

FVTURE is the brainchild of a team with deep roots in nightlife, music and international hospitality: Victor Wang brings expertise in cross-border nightlife operations. COO Michele Wang is a seasoned operations leader driving long-term sustainability and execution and Pablo Vas is an acclaimed music director and DJ behind concepts like Down Temple and Tucan Bangkok who will lead FVTURE’s sound and programming.

FVTURE is built to welcome Bangkok locals, regional tastemakers and international ravers. With a huge capacity, sound and visuals designed to stun, and a team dedicated to elevating the scene, FVTURE is here to reshape the future of clubbing in the region.

Headlining the main stage next summer under the scenic Prestbury Hills, Kaiser Chiefs will bring their celebrated catalogue of indie anthems – including ‘I Predict a Riot’, ‘Ruby’, ‘Everyday I Love You Less and Less’ and ‘Never Miss a Beat’ – to Cheltenham Racecourse. Known for frontman Ricky Wilson’s boundless charm and the band’s formidable live reputation, having toured with the likes of U2, Foo Fighters and Green Day, the Leeds band are the perfect choice to crown another unforgettable Wychwood Festival weekend.

Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson said“Really looking forward to playing Wychwood next summer. Any festival that puts us top of the bill must have excellent taste so it bodes well. The summer is when we thrive, we are good at festivals and if you haven’t seen us before it’s a strong recommend. If you have seen us before then we hope to see you”

In a move that reinforces Wychwood’s commitment to accessibility and community spirit, 2026 will see unbeatable value in weekend ticket prices. The full weekend experience is already proving more popular than ever before, with a record-setting 50% of weekend camping tickets sold already. With so much on offer for all ages, under-10s continue to go free, ensuring the event remains an inclusive experience for all.

Festival Director Graeme Merifield said“After such an incredible milestone year in 2025, we wanted to come back with something really special and a first for Wychwood. Announcing Kaiser Chiefs as our Saturday headliner for 2026 feels exactly that. They’re a band that knows how to unite a crowd and bring pure joy to a festival field so I know this will be a moment to remember. I can’t wait for us to reveal more names soon, and welcome everyone to the racecourse at the start of next summer – I predict the 20th edition will be another fun-filled record-breaking year together!”

Renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and expert curation across the weekend, Wychwood continues to grow and evolve while staying true to its roots as one of the UK’s most loved boutique festival weekends.
