Celebrate Tichuca's fifth birthday with a new Circle Stage that surrounds DJs with dancers

Five years is a long time in Bangkok nightlife, long enough to watch tastes shift, crowds grow up, then circle back again. Tichuca hits that mark this December, marking its anniversary while the city edges towards Christmas drinks and end of year bravado. The party runs from Christmas night through to the New Year’s Eve countdown, stitched together by music, lighting and the familiar mood that regulars know so well. The biggest change arrives with the Circle Stage, a new setup that pulls the DJ into the middle of the room, with dancers and friends pressed close on all sides. It feels less like watching and more like sharing the moment. A rotating group of local musicians, DJs and sound artists will hold the space for seven straight hours, letting the night stretch, soften and build again as midnight creeps closer.

December 25-26. Free. Tichuca Bangkok, 6.30pm-1.30am
