Pattaya’s hottest new nightclub celebrates its grand opening this weekend with a party so big one night can’t hold it: The Akira Grand Opening.
Not one, but two unforgettable nights explode on Walking Street June 6-7 as the Akira Grand Opening brings together acclaimed DJs Kevu and 39 Kingdom.
Akira Grand Opening All-Star Lineup
KEVU is an internationally acclaimed DJ from Rave Culture, the label of W&W. Known for his high-energy performances and massive hits, KEVU has taken the EDM scene by storm.
His collaboration track “Incoming!” with W&W has been a festival favorite, played by major DJs such as Hardwell and David Guetta. He’s a superstar DJ in the making.
39 Kingdom are one of the brightest new Electronic Live Duo projects of our time. They integrate live instruments such as guitar, drums and vocals into their live shows and their music is absolutely unique.
39 Kingdom performance highlights will include two unique shows: an LED drum performance and a dance show with stunning costumes.
It will be two nights of non-stop action at Akira, the two-story nightclub built inside the shell of the former Angelwitch Pattaya go-go bar.
Akira Is Pattaya’s 1st Class Nightclub
In the making for more than a year before the Akira Grand Opening, the club is led by the owner of the absurdly successful Sapphire Club nearly opposite the new nightspot. They describe Akira as the “future of clubbing” with a venue that features a “supreme sound system and breathtaking lights and visuals”.
Those walking into the former Angelwitch – arguably the best-looking and sounding go-go bar of its era – were left slack-jawed impressed. Angelwitch was more than gutted: Only the exterior walls were left.
Interior floors and even the roof was removed during the months of renovation. In its place now are two exquisitely laid-out floors of seats and tables under a soaring roof covered in LED panels and high-tech lighting.
When it comes to sound and visuals, the new club actually outshines its Angelwitch heritage, filling the space with booming sound that is immersive, not abusive. Conversation is possible while you still feel every beat, even at the Akira Grand Opening.
As for the lights, it runs through all the seasons and moods, lighting top-to-bottom, corner-to-corner with colored lights and lasers. The on the walls and ceiling explode with color and eye-grabbing scenes to take in at the Akira Grand Opening.
