Stay Awake and Dirty Magic are getting the band back together, and Bangkok’s rock faithful can already hear the feedback ringing. For one night, two of the city’s most-loved outfits will return to the stage, bringing back the noise, the nostalgia and the kind of sweat-soaked camaraderie that once defined its scene. Expect riffs that hit like old memories, choruses shouted rather than sung and a crowd that feels less like an audience and more like a reunion of old mates. It’s the sort of night where pints get raised mid-song and strangers end up harmonising by accident. Whether you were part of that first wave or just missed it by a few years, this is the sound of a city remembering how good it used to be loud.
