BANGKOK: — Bangkok Rock Festival 2007 – which was initially scheduled for February 10 and 11 – will be cancelled mainly due to the government’s ban on alcohol advertising.
The ban with limited exceptions will take effect on December 3.
Riverman Asia Company yesterday announced the cancellation of the rock festival, saying that it would be hard to find sponsors for this big event with the virtual ban on alcohol advertising.
“Such a big event is going to cost more than Bt80 million because international rock stars will be part of this festival,” the company said.
