Beer
This year’s batch of breweries brings together four Hong Kong beer favourites and four Japanese craft beer specialists, some debuting in Hong Kong for the first time.
Local names include Black Kite Brewery, Heroes Beer Co., Yardley Brothers, and Deadman Brewing. From Japan, expect bold pours from West Coast Brewing, DD4D, Black Tide Brewing and Far Yeast Brewing.
Music
Over three days you can catch shoegaze‑tinged rock from Biascut, jazzy grooves from Reggie the Leaf, indie pop from Mr Koo and retro surf‑rock from Black Lodge Cabaret.
Schedule 2026
As PMQ is a semi‑outdoor venue, FLOCKFEST has clear adverse weather arrangements in place.
If a Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above, or a Black Rainstorm Warning is issued, the festival will be suspended or postponed. Should the warning be lifted before 3 p.m., the venue will reopen within two hours after safety checks; if it remains in force after 3 p.m., the event will stay closed for the rest of the day.
Under Typhoon Signal No. 3 or a Yellow/Red Rainstorm Warning, the festival will generally continue, though some workshops may pause or adjust activities.

Each package includes four draught beers plus the selected merchandise item.
