The Haçienda: Lineup and Manchester Legacy
The Haçienda, founded in Manchester in 1982, not only defined modern club culture. It also inspired generations of electronic artists worldwide. Consequently, its arrival in Bangkok represents a cultural bridge between Manchester’s storied past and Asia’s dynamic present.
Headliners such as Basement Jaxx bring explosive energy into sets that remain electrifying decades after their debut. Moreover, Peter Hook, co‑owner of the original Haçienda and bassist for Joy Division and New Order, provides a rare connection to the club’s origins, ensuring the spirit of Manchester resonates on Bangkok’s dancefloors.
Alongside these icons, 808 State, pioneers of acid house, join forces with Haçienda residents Jon Dasilva and DJ Paulette. Together, they embody the festival’s ethos: honoring legacy while embracing innovation. Furthermore, international names like Move D, Huerta, and Liquid Earth expand the sonic palette, proving that Haçienda’s forward‑facing vision continues to thrive globally.
