Clockenflap, which is billed as Hong Kong’s biggest international outdoor music and arts festival, has released the majority of its lineup and confirmed the headlining acts. The event, which will take place from December 1-3 at Central Harbourfront, has Yoasobi, PULP, and Joji as the main acts on each of the three days.
There will also be a host of artists from across the world, such as American singer-songwriter Caroline Polachek, UK post-punk heroes IDLES, Welsh multi-instrumentalist Novo Amor, and Canadian rapper singer and songwriter BBNO$. The festival lineup includes regional acts such as the trailblazing Omnipotent Youth Society, Taiwanese indie rockers No Party For Cao Dong, and J-pop mavericks Wednesday Campanella.
The festival roster also features Hong Kong artists, including the likes of hip-hop collective Yack Studio, producer DJ duo JVSY, and the multi-faceted Subyub Lee. There will also be many firsts, such as legendary DJ-producer Darren Emerson making his Clockenflap debut, and Chinese singer-songwriter Leah Dou returning to the festival for the first time since 2015.
