The most anticipated music and arts event in Hong Kong’s annual event line-up is back! Clockenflap had grown in ten short years to become one of the largest music festivals in Asia.
With names like the Flaming Lips, The Chemical Brothers, Erykah Badhu and David Byrne performing in previous years, it’s no wonder that many people have planned their trip to Hong Kong to coincide with this fantastic collection of local and international talent.
Line-Up: December 2024
The event will feature an eclectic lineup of international and local talent, headlined by artists such as Jack White, French electronic duo Air, and genre-bending artist St. Vincent. Other notable performers include Jamie xx, Glass Animals, and hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts. With over 80 artists on the bill, the festival offers a dynamic mix of genres, including indie, electronic, pop, and rock

What to expext
Every year Clockenflap also pulls in a number of local and regional stars, making it a great opportunity to hear from groups based in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia.
But it’s more than just the music — it’s also about art, film, and performance, and is even family-friendly, since two kids under the age of 12 can get in free. There are also food and drink vendors, games to try, and exhibitions to explore.
Tickets
If you’re really serious about hearing a lot of bands, then buy the 3-Day Pass (from HK$1,990.00) and see the full line-up of performers. You can alternatively buy the one-day tickets (from HK$1,280.00) for the Friday, Saturday, or Sunday shows, depending on which bands or performers you want to see.
Children aged three and under can attend the festival for free (pre-registration for children aged under three is not required). Children aged between three and 17 years old require their own ticket.
Cheapo tip: The Friday show doesn’t start until 5 p.m. that means you only get 5.5 hours of music. A better bet, time permitting, are the Saturday and Sunday shows, which run from 12 noon until 10:30 p.m., giving you much more bang for your buck.
