Maho Rasop (Thai: มหรสพ) is an annual music festival held in Thailand. The first edition was held in 2018 at the Live Park Rama 9, Bangkok. The festival showcases independent local and international acts.[2]

History[edit]

The first edition of Maho Rasop Festival was held on 17 November 2018 at the Live Park Rama 9, Bangkok.[3] It was headlined by The Vaccines and Slowdive.[4] The festival was expanded into two-day event in 2019. It was held on 16 and 17 November and featured headliners King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, The Horrors, Bombay Bicycle Club, and The Drums.[5] The festival was set to be held in 2020 but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

The festival made its return on 19 and 20 November 2022 after two-year hiatus at a new venue, ESC Park in Rangsit.[7] It was headlined by Cornelius, DIIV, Mono, and Yussef Dayes.[8] JX Soo of NME gave the 2022 event a perfect rating of five stars and called it "a breath of fresh air in an increasingly homogenous festival landscape".[9] Music broadcaster Boiler Room made their Bangkok debut at the 2022 festival and curated the acts performing at the Rim Daeng Stage.[10] The 2023 festival was held on 2 and 3 December and headlined by Idles and Interpol.[11]
