Live Band Guide Bangkok 2011
Live Band GuideUpcoming Concerts for 2011I have compiled a Live Band Guide to all the upcoming concerts to be held in Bangkok during 2011. They include top names such as the legendary blues guitar player, Eric Clapton, the rock band Santana, based around guitarist Carlos Santana who originally came to prominence in the late 1960s as well as the American rock band, The Eagles formed by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner in Los Angeles, California in 1971.I am also going to cover some new generation rock groups such as Slash, the Scorpions, the Deftones, New Found Glory, Zakk Wylde, and many more. Live concerts are regular all year round affairs in this utterly lively metropolis. These live band music concerts will be held at either the Thunder Dome or Impact Arena, Exhibition and Convention Centre, Muang Thong Thani in Amphoe Pak Kret, Nonthaburi. Both venues are positioned adjacent to each other and are located 15 minutes from Dong Muang Domestic Airport, 30 minutes north of Bangkok's central business district via the expressway and 45 minutes from
Suvarnabhumi International Airport
via the expressway.
Live Band ConcertsGetting to the Impact ArenaThere are a few ways to get to the Thunder Dome and Impact Arena other than using private transport, thought that can be arranged too. On call are public taxis, buses and minibuses. There's a complimentary Inter-Fairground shuttle service that runs every five minutes within the Impact showground.Public Bus Services run between the central business district of Bangkok and the Impact Arena. For departures from the city, first take the BTS Sky Train to Mo-Chit Station at Chatuchak Park then cross over to the Impact Link city shuttle bus service station. Buses there depart daily every thirty minutes from 6:00 am until 22:00 pm. The bus station for the return trip is situated at Aktiv Square, opposite the Impact Arena. See map below. Public Mini-Bus Services are available from several locations in and around Bangkok. Victory Monument in central Bangkok is one, Future Park Rangsit on Phahonyothin Road, Pathum Thani is another, Chatuchak Weekend Market is another, the Mall Shopping Center Bangkapi on Lat Phrao Road, Khlong Chan is another and the Royal Ground at Sanam Luang is another. Go crazy. There are three drop off points at Impact Arena. One is opposite the front entrance of Impact Arena, another in front of the food atrium beneath the Sky Kitchen Bridge and the third is at Muang Thong Thani public car park.
Late Night Public TransportIt has just come to my attention that should you be attending one of the late night live band concerts at Impact Arena, Exhibition and Convention Centre, it may be a problem trying to get home from there after 22:00 pm. It appears that there is very little in the way of public transport after ten at night. And because of this, it has been a cause of concern for quite a few visitors.Should there be any plans in the near future to rectify this rather unsettling situation, I shall advise accordingly. I have only gone there with friends who have had their own transport. If anyone reading this article has information that could eliminate this problem, please do inform me so that I may update the report here. Also if anyone can provide an alternative method of public transport to and from the venue for visitors, it would be greatly appreciated.

Due to technical and electrical problems on stage the Deftones concert had to be abruptly canceled. It was considered unsafe because a band member almost electrocuted himself. The outrage caused both local and foreign fans to go on a riot while wrecking and vandalizing the venue. A member of the Thai rock band Blackhead tried to console the crowd's violent reaction to the cancellation to no avail. They were also going to perform that night.

New Found Glory will preform in the small 500-seat multi-purpose auditorium. It's situated in the Huai Khwang district of Bangkok on Ratchadaphisek Road, close to the junction with Tiam Ruammitr Road. The best way to get there is by taxi but you can take the Bangkok Metro to the Thailand Cultural Centre Station, however this may prove to be a bit misleading for you because the actual venue from the station is a tortuous 10-minute walk away which involves the crossing of a dangerous busy road.
