Celebrate the last Sunday of 2019 with top Thai performers Chanakan "Atom" Rattana-udom, Waruntorn "Ink" Paonil and Polycat at "Dare To Celebrate Concert". Presented by FWD and Lido Connect, the concert will take place at Lido Connect (Lido 2), Siam Square on Dec 29 starting at 5pm.

It's rare for a Thai musician to launch a full album due to limited demand from music listeners. Most performers focus on releasing singles and touring around the Kingdom. However, the trio who will perform at "Dare To Celebrate Concert" have so many loyal fans that they have been able to release albums. Singer-songwriter Chanakan released the nine-track Cyantist in 2017, followed by the EP Moon last year. The 28-year-old has been putting out a steady stream of hits since Please in 2015. Among his most popular are the chart-toppers Scar, Dust and Good Morning Teacher. His music is notable for his use of elements from other genres, such as soul and blues. His live act is energetic and fun.

Waruntorn has gained widespread popularity for her mellow voice and distinctive brand of synth-pop. She released her debut album Bliss in 2015 and has scored hits with the tracks are Insomnia, Cloudy and Glad. On her latest hit Call Me, the 25-year-old collaborated with rising star MeYou.

Guest starring at the event is Polycat. Starting out as a ska band, the trio are now more recognised for their synth-pop songs. Their second and breakthrough album, 80 Kisses from 2016, is heavily influenced by music from the 80s. Forever Mate, You Had Me At Hello and Alright are among the popular tracks that concertgoers will be singing along to.

Tickets are 990 baht, available at ticketmelon.com.
