With two weekends of Beamfest rolling around, Bangkok is gearing up for another urban music affair.
Billed as an “explosive” hip-hop/dance fusion festival, WOO FEST debuts on Thursday, December 7 at Voice Space Sugar Club Bangkok with American rapper Tyga as headliner. He’s best known for “Molly”, “Dope” and “Hookah” (and, um, as Kylie Jenner’s ex).
