Hong Kong’s annual music and arts festival
Clockenflap is Hong Kong’s marquee annual music event, drawing in as many as 60,000 attendees, especially pre-pandemic. The festival began in 2008 to put Hong Kong on the map when it comes to music and arts.
Following a three-year cancellation, Clockenflap made its comeback last year with two back-to-back events. The first in March 2023 and the second in December 2023. Joji, one of the original headliners, wasn’t able to join the festival in the end. It would have been his first performance in the city. Other artists in the line-up included Swae Lee, De La Soul, Tilly Birds, Yoasobi, IDLES, as well as Atarashii Gakko.
Other than music performances, festivalgoers can also enjoy a range of dining options, stalls, booths, and other side activities.
