Dance to Basement Jaxx's gloriously messy house set at The Hacienda's Bangkok return

January sees FAC51 The Hacienda resurface in Bangkok, reworking a secret city-centre venue as a retro-future rave playground for one night only. Three decades on, the Manchester institution still carries global weight, making this Southeast Asia revival feel quietly historic rather than nostalgic. It’s a nod to the long flirtation between Manchester and Krung Thep, a relationship sparked in the ‘80s and kept alive by those who still dress, dance and listen with intent. Born in 1982, The Haçienda didn’t just host parties, it rewired nightlife, setting templates that cities still borrow from. This edition brings a Bangkok first for Basement Jaxx, the duo who bent dance music sideways at the millennium. 25 years after ‘Rooty’, their DJ sets still feel playful and unruly, hopping between house staples, broken rhythms and carnival-minded twists. Expect sweat, smiles and a crowd that forgets what time it is meant to be.

January 24. B2,600-9,250 via here. Venue to be announced.
