Ticketing information for the newly announced shows are expected to be announced “soon”.

Phum Viphurit last performed in Southeast Asia in October and November, where he performed at Thailand’s VERY Festival and Monster Music Festival, Malaysia’s Sunbear Festival, Taiwan’s LUCfest, Indonesia’s Joyland Jakarta and as part of Singapore’s Mosaic Music series.

In a four-star review of ‘The Greng Jai Piece’, Khyne Palumar wrote for NME: “The record, however, feels less like a departure and more of an emboldened homecoming for the amiable Thai-born Kiwi transplant. The album’s artwork captures its distinct point of view, as he told NME: “I wanted to allude to my distorted Thai-ness and third culture kid background, hence the sloth in the middle of a very traditional-style temple wall painting. A mix of things that don’t really fit but co-exist anyway.””

“Though not flawless, ‘The Greng Jai Piece’ is a triumphant snapshot of an already celebrated singer-songwriter coming into his own.”
