BEC-TERO is the primary promoter and organizer of pop music concerts by foreign artists in Thailand. Artists brought to Thailand by BEC-TERO include Elton John and 50 Cent. Most of the bigger shows are held at Impact Arena in Mueang Thong Thani, Amphoe Pak Kret.

For a few years, the company hosted smaller events in what was known as BEC-TERO Hall in Suan Lum Night Bazaar in Lumphini, Bangkok. It is used for concerts and other events. Artists who have performed there include Bryan Ferry, The Pretenders and The Black Eyed Peas. The company's lease on the Suan Lum location expired in March 2007, and the hall was renamed Bangkok Hall.
