The joint artist concert ‘SMTOWN LIVE 2025-26 [THE CULTURE, THE FUTURE] in BANGKOK’ concluded the tour celebrating SM Entertainment’s 30th anniversary magnificently at Rajamangala Stadium, Thailand, on 14 February 2026. This date coincided with Valentine’s Day and the company’s founding anniversary, marking a significant milestone in three decades of SM’s journey. It also reinforced SM’s position as the first and only Korean entertainment company to hold a stadium-scale K-pop concert in Thailand for the third time.
‘SMTOWN LIVE’ serves as a music festival connecting artists and fans across multiple generations into one. It not only allows PINK BLOOD (the name for fans who love SM artists and content) to relive over 30 years of cultural musical heritage but also reflects SM’s future vision to become an integral part of daily life through music.
