Chanpan bring indie-dance and alt-pop energy to The Lower Third

Chanpan play The Lower Third in London on 11 May, bringing their indie-dance, alt-pop and drum-and-bass-influenced sound into a UK live setting. The Asian American trio have built a story that starts with busking in Chinatown and moves through viral moments, fashion press attention, and playlist support.

Their music blends dance-pop energy, jazzy soul influence and bright alternative-pop attitude, with reference points that include PinkPantheress, Hiatus Kaiyote and NewJeans. That mix feels very 2026: global, online, rhythm-heavy and unconcerned with old genre walls.

The London date matters because Chanpan are exactly the kind of act that can grow quickly through live word of mouth. For an indie news roundup, this is a sign of a band moving internationally and testing how far its hybrid sound can travel.
