Finally, the longing shared by both the artist and fans was fulfilled through a show that perfectly conveyed the identity and musical journey of “JAY B” as intended. The concert "2026 JAY B tape: roots bangkok," held on 11-12 July 2026 GMT+7 at IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani, saw enthusiastic cheers from Thai and international fans filling the venue for both shows. The well-curated setlist, supported by organizers BEX, an event company under Workpoint Group, together with YJ PARTNERS and PROUD2, never disappointed fans. The event was packed with Asian-level production including lighting, sound, giant LED screens, lasers, special effects, and stage design that seamlessly connected every segment of the performance, immersing everyone in a special mood for over three full hours!
The memorable nights began with an Opening VCR before “JAY B” appeared on stage performing Intro + go UP, The Way We Are, and FAME, igniting IMPACT Arena from the very first moment! The energy continued with Wonder, B.T.W, Sweetie—songs JAY B surprised fans with exclusively at the concert—followed by Time, We, and Dive Into You, fully immersing the audience in his musical world. After a look change, JAY B returned to showcase another charm through WANT U, I JUST WANNA KNOW, Hold onto My Back, and Layback before ramping up the excitement with Overflow, Count On Me, and Why?, which drew cheers throughout the hall. A major surprise was the appearance of special guest “Gulf Kanawut” performing “Tid Ter Sa Gorn (Sweet Baby) - JAONAAY” together with JAY B, creating a thrilling moment that had fans cheering loudly. JAY B then handed the stage to Gulf for a full performance of his song WHY YOU SO SERIOUS, adding more color to this unforgettable night. Toward the end, JAY B led the audience through an emotional journey with Hush, Rainy, Right, you say, Whiskey, HONEY, and One Call Away, before unleashing his final energy with intense dance performances of Velvet Trigger, RIDE, Switch It Up, and Head To Toe. Another surprise was an unreleased song performed exclusively for Arakaze at the tape: roots concert, marking a memorable conclusion to the main show.
Although the main show ended, the call for “Encore!” echoed throughout IMPACT Arena, prompting “JAY B” to return to the stage with a fiery dance setlist including SWITCH UP / go UP (Remix Ver.), BREAK IT DOWN / Fountain of Youth (Remix Ver.), and concluding the night with an Encore Medley packed with hits for fans to sing along to, such as PYTHON, Darling, NANANA, Girls Girls Girls, and Breath. The entire hall transformed into a space filled with smiles, music, and happiness, maintaining full energy until the very last moment.
Beyond the grandeur of the stage production, a highlight that deeply impressed “JAY B” was the Fan Video Project prepared by Thai Arakaze fans throughout both days of the performances. On the first day, fans united behind the slogan "This home will always embrace Jaebum with love," accompanied by a Lightbox Project featuring a tree + bird = home, symbolizing JAY B as the tree and Arakaze as the bird—together forming a home for each other. On the second day, Thai Arakaze conveyed another message through a banner stating, "Today, still proud of Jaebum as always." Though brief, the message was filled with meaning, reflecting the love and devotion fans wished to give their beloved artist.
The "2026 JAY B tape: roots bangkok" concert was more than just a performance; it was a reunion of the artist and fans affirming their feelings through music and love. For JAY B, Thailand remains a "home" that always embraces him with affection. For Thai Arakaze, no matter the day, they will always be proud of "Jaebum" as ever.
