The first-wave line-up for the 2023 edition of Hong Kong music and arts festival Clockenflap has been announced, and includes an eclectic group of artists. UK rock band Arctic Monkeys will perform in the city for the first time at the festival as part of their Asia 2023 tour. Other acts include Norwegian folk duo Kings Of Convenience, and German electronic music supergroup Moderat (Modeselektor and Apparat).
