Organizer Announces Safety Measures Following Impact Arena Seating Collapse
Following a partial seating structure collapse at the Asanee-Wasan concert, organizer Nee Krung Connect has announced safety overhauls and compensation options for affected attendees.
On September 2, 2026, a portion of the elevated seating structure at the Impact Arena collapsed during the 'Farewell Concert' of legendary Thai rock duo Asanee-Wasan. The incident forced organizers to halt the performance immediately to ensure the safety of the audience.
In a second official statement released on September 3, 2026, the event organizer, Nee Krung Connect, announced that the remaining concert dates will proceed as scheduled. To address safety concerns, the company is completely restructuring the seating layout at the venue. For those who attended the interrupted show on September 2, the organizer is offering the option to use their original tickets to attend the final concert date. Alternatively, those who are unable or unwilling to attend the rescheduled dates are eligible for a full ticket refund.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights the importance of venue safety protocols during large-scale events in Thailand. While the organizer has committed to structural improvements, the specific technical details regarding the cause of the collapse have not been fully disclosed. Attendees planning to visit Impact Arena for future events may wish to monitor official announcements from both the venue and event organizers regarding safety certifications and seating arrangements. Further updates regarding the refund process and the final concert schedule are expected to be provided by Nee Krung Connect.
