FVTURE BANGKOK BRINGS KLANGKUENSTLER'S OUTWORLD TO SOUTHEAST ASIA

FVTURE brings Klangkuenstler's OUTWORLD to Southeast Asia for the first time, continuing its mission to connect global electronic music with Asia through internationally influential artists, touring concepts and world-class large-scale live experiences where music, sound, lighting, visuals and production come together as one complete show.

FVTURE will host Klangkuenstler's OUTWORLD on Saturday, 23rd January 2027, marking the touring concept's Southeast Asia debut with a six-hour all-night set. Built around the intersection of electronic music, architecture, light and sound, OUTWORLD has grown into one of the most talked-about touring formats in techno.

“Klangkuenstler is a brilliant DJ, and what I really like about him is that he has his own point of view not only on the music, but on the whole design of the experience - the visuals, the atmosphere and how the show should feel. That is exactly what we value at FVTURE. OUTWORLD represents the kind of globally recognised, large-scale experience we want to bring to Asia: not just a great artist, but a complete world built through music, sound, lighting, visuals and production. Our ambition is for FVTURE to be the platform in Asia where the world's most influential artists, touring concepts and event brands come to create something at the highest level.” — Victor Wang, founder of FVTURE

From the beginning, FVTURE has been built around international programming and world-class event production. In late 2025 and early 2026, the venue welcomed ARTBAT, CamelPhat, Kölsch, Marten Hørger, Plastik Funk, Danny Avila, Goodboys, SLVR, AXL STACE, Sam Collins, Prophecy, Arcando, ARHEUM and more. OUTWORLD is the next step in that journey - and part of a wider pipeline of globally recognised artists, touring concepts and large-scale event brands that FVTURE intends to bring to Bangkok and Asia, with each show designed as a complete experience across music, sound, lighting, visuals and production.

FVTURE sees itself as a major platform for global electronic music culture in Asia: a place where world-class performances, artists and internationally recognised event concepts come to Bangkok and reach audiences across the region. At the same time, FVTURE welcomes international audiences to Bangkok to experience Asia through music, nightlife and culture. The ambition is bigger than connecting two markets - it is about creating a home in Asia for global electronic culture, with FVTURE as the stage and Bangkok at the centre.

EFFIN ANNOUNCES 2027 HEARTBEATS TOUR, HIS FIRST FULL-SCALE HEADLINE TOUR ACROSS NORTH AMERICA

35+ CITY RUN KICKS OFF JANUARY 15, BRINGING THE WORLD OF HEARTBEATS TO STAGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF HIS NEW ALBUM, THE NASHVILLE PRODUCER PREPARES FOR HIS BIGGEST HEADLINE SHOW TO DATE AT DENVER'S MISSION BALLROOM

Following the release of his new album HEARTBEATS on October 8, Nashville-based producer Effin announces the HEARTBEATS Tour, his first full-scale headline tour, launching January 15, 2027, in Salt Lake City and spanning more than 35 markets across the United States.

The announcement marks a defining next chapter for Effin, transforming the deeply personal, nostalgia-driven world of HEARTBEATS into his most ambitious live undertaking to date. The tour will bring his signature blend of inventive sampling, technical sound design, emotionally driven songwriting, and vintage-inspired aesthetics to stages nationwide, offering fans a new way to experience the music and visual universe surrounding the album.

The run begins January 15 at The Complex in Salt Lake City before arriving at Denver's Mission Ballroom on January 16 for Effin's largest headline performance to date. From there, the tour travels through major markets including Phoenix, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Miami, and Dallas.

Joining Effin on the tour are direct support Nikita, the Wicked and support act AYCH.

The HEARTBEATS Tour arrives on the heels of a breakout period for Effin. Throughout 2026, he performed at major festivals and events including Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, GRIZTRONICS at The Gorge, VELD, Elements, Lost Lands, Sacred Acre, and Seven Stars Festival, introducing his evolving sound and live performance to audiences across North America.

Those experiences helped shape HEARTBEATS, a 12-track exploration of love, memory, nostalgia, and human connection. Building on his previous albums Cheap Thrills (2023) and Daydreams (2025), the project represents his most focused conceptual work to date, drawing inspiration from forgotten 1950s and 1960s recordings, vintage film dialogue, Motown, jazz, hip-hop, and decades of musical history.

At its core, HEARTBEATS is an album about connection. Effin has spoken about how meeting fans throughout his recent touring run, hearing their personal relationships with his music, and experiencing an increasingly strong sense of community helped inspire the record.

“The Heartbeats Tour is the show I’ve always dreamed of putting together. A love filled evening, a theatrical experience not to be missed. Unforgettable moments, ups and downs, and a little something for everyone. See you soon ♥️“ - EFFIN

Now, the HEARTBEATS Tour brings that sentiment full circle, taking a project born from those connections back to the audiences who helped inspire it.

More than a traditional album tour, the run represents the continued evolution of Effin's artistic identity. His live performances combine high-energy electronic production with distinctive musical storytelling and a visual aesthetic rooted in vintage nostalgia, creating an immersive experience that extends beyond the music itself.

With his first full-scale headline tour, Effin is taking a significant step forward as a touring artist, moving from standout festival appearances and select headline performances into a nationwide run built entirely around his own creative vision.

The tour will conclude in the Southeast, where Effin has cultivated a dedicated local community through his Sunset Soirée events and established a creative home outside the city's traditional musical boundaries.

Artist presale begins Wednesday, October 21, at 10 AM local time with the code SWEETHEART, followed by venue and local presales on Thursday, October 22. General tickets go on sale Friday, October 23, at 10 AM local time.

released in June. Building on the success of Cheap Thrills, this album dives deeper into themes

of nostalgia, innovation, and growth. By embracing elements of vintage sounds and aesthetics,

Effin is crafting a sonic world that speaks to both the emotional and physical energy of bass

Music.

Effin’s ability to innovate while remaining grounded in his influences has solidified his place as
