Clockenflap weekend is almost upon us! Hong Kong’s annual outdoor music festival returns to the Central Harbourfront with an amazing line-up.

There will be a spillover of talent all over town, including one of the world’s most talented drag queens, and award-winning South African jazz vocalist Talie Monin.

1. Clockenflap

Suede’s 90-minute set on Saturday night promises to attract a crowd of a certain age, but Clockenflap also has plenty on offer for younger music fans, including London-based rapper Central Cee, Hong Kong singer Serrini, American indie pop duo Bubble Tea and Cigarettes and South Korean band The Black Skirts.

Other familiar names include Jack White, formerly of the White Stripes, and Air, the French music duo consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel.

The festival will have 24 stalls serving food and drinks, including Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant – which will serve its signature barbecued Cherry Valley duck with rice – and the Martell bar, which will serve an exclusive cocktail made with Martell Noblige Cognac.

There are still tickets available. One-day passes are priced at HK$1,280, while the three-day bundle is HK$1,990.

Clockenflap, Central Harbourfront, 9 Lung Wo Road Central, Nov 29-Dec 1, Fri-Sun. Tickets available here.
