Life in Color: 5 Reasons the World’s Largest Paint Party Debut is a Must Do
2017 started off with a bang. There were festivals being thrown left and right week-in-week-out for the first 6 months – it was almost as if Bangkok became the festival center of the world for a moment – and then all trails went cold. The deafening silence was eerily depressing. For those of us who breath and live for magical musical moments at festivals, the break may have given us the time to rest our bodies, but our souls are just itching to go at it again. After such a long hiatus, we all really need something special to ignite the festival fires within us again. And it seems like our prayers have indeed been answered – because special it is.
After 10 years of throwing “The World’s Largest Paint Party” globally, Life in Color has announced their official arrival to the shores of Bangkok. The festival will be happening on September 23rd, 2017 at Centerpoint Studio, Lasalle and will be the very first time Life in Color has held anything of such magnitude in Southeast Asia. With the concept being entirely new to Bangkok, there are reasons to wonder what kind of epicness the Life in Color team will be bringing with them to showcase on the day. Here is a first peek at what you can expect to find:
190,000 Liters of Paint
You read that right. There will be in excess of 190,000 liters of paint being sprayed, splashed, and thrown at you as soon as you walk into the venue. To put that in perspective and in units that you can better visualize, that is over 570,000 cans of beer being splashed directly on to you for the entire length of the festival. Clearly, this is no ordinary festival. You will not just be enjoying the music with your friends, but you will also get the chance to truly experience the Life in Color way – create unity with color, so come prepared. Although the paint is 99% water-based, latex-free, odorless, and is safe for the skin and eyes, it will leave your favorite white shirt or shoes with a reminder of the event. So, if you do not want that to happen, wear some clothes that you do not mind others creating a work of art on.
A World-Class Production Team
The first Life in Color events began in 2007 on college campuses in Florida, USA. The founders of the event quickly realized that they were sitting on something that needed to be spread throughout the world and so quickly established Life in Color to become a world-class production and promotion company that tours internationally. Although their annual flagship event is still held in Miami, the Life in Color tour appears in over 50+ cities across over 30 countries around the world. More than 250,000 tickets get sold annually and with each ticket sold, the Life in Color team reaps all the experience that they can in order to make the next event bigger and better. When you arrive for their premier event in Bangkok, it is without a doubt that the organizers will give you an international event experience that you will surely enjoy with all your friends.
Superstar DJs Rocking the Crowd
Multiple DJs have grazed the stages at Life in Color all over the world. While the paint will color your clothes, the DJ’s job is to color your heart and soul through their music while you dance your night away. The Bangkok edition will be welcoming 7 of the best names in the game. In addition to Bass Jackers (#34 in DJ Mag) and Andrew Rayel (#65 in DJ Mag) – both of which Bangkok has come to know and love – Ape Drum, BonnieXClyde, Party Thieves, Technoboy, and Wasted Penguins will also be making sure that the Centerpoint Studio gets a proper shakeup. You can anticipate a strong headbanging show from all of these DJs. Make sure your body is fully ready to dance like there is no tomorrow!
Untamed Energy
It has been a while since Bangkok had a large-scale must festival, and with the long break comes a lot of pent up energy from all the party people that are looking for their fix. As the first event in a while, expect EVERYONE in attendance in the crowd to be letting loose. Add to the music the trap music that will be played along with the splashing of the paint, and you are almost guaranteed a good time. There will be jumping, there will be grinding, there will be twerking – there is so much locked up energy in Bangkok right now that this event will surely unlock. Welcome to the paint jungle!
An Outdoor Party Indoors – #Rainproof!
Without a doubt, Ceterpoint Studio, Lasalle is a sublime location to host the first Life in Color event especially in the rainy season. When else will you have the ability to really play with insane colors INSIDE a studio and walk away with no repercussions and be safe from the weather? Take the time to enjoy the mess all the while, dancing together with your friends and not having to clean up. Surely, this makes for one big intimate party atmosphere. The time has come for the music, the color, the people, and the surroundings to come together as one and really explode into rainbows when each DJ drops their beats.
There is no place in the world you should rather be on September 23rd, 2017. Life in Color at Centerpoint Studio, Lasalle is an event for the ages. Bring your friends as this is the time for you to create the memories that will last a lifetime. This is your time to fuel the fire within yourselves once again and revel under the lasers and confetti as life gets breathed back into our souls.
