Indie is back

The '90s was a time for creative, independent and grungy sounds, which have recently seen a revival. The two-day performance at the night bazaar brings together 30 recently successful Thai

indie and alternative bands, including Modern Dog, Paradox, Flure, Sick Child, and Blackhead, to offer an alternative to the often sugary mainstream Thai pop.

The show runs Saturday and Sunday from 5pm through 11.30pm.

Tickets at Bt300 for a single day and Bt500 for both are available from Thaiticketmajor.
