The event was held with the aim of restoring hope and bringing smiles back to the faces of Thai people after they suffered from months of distress caused by the severe floods.

The band's history and work over the past 30 years is showcased at the event, which has drawn a lot of attention from fans.

The seven-day event also includes performances of the band's all-time hits to thank their fans. Each day has a different theme.

The concert on the first day of the event is organized with the theme “On the Rock”.

The band performed its hit songs such as “Lung Khee Mao” or “Drunken Uncle”, followed by “Prachathipatai” or “Democracy” from its first album.

They were rearranged in rock and roll style.

“Carabao New Year Expo” is being held at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center for free of charge until December 27.
