Arctic Monkeys to headline Hong Kong’s 2023 Clockenflap music festival: Phoenix, Tyson Yoshi and Men I Trust also on the bill
- British rock band Arctic Monkeys are confirmed as Friday night headliners at the music and arts festival in March 2023, say Clockenflap organisers
- Kings of Convenience, Lücy and FKJ are among others on the bill at the festival, which returns after a four-year hiatus. Early Bird tickets are on sale now
British rockers Arctic Monkeys are set to headline the Clockenflap festival when it returns to Hong Kong in March 2023 after a gap of more than four years, say the event’s organisers.
Indie pop stalwarts Phoenix, pioneering French multi-instrumentalist FKJ, and Norwegian folk-pop pairing Kings of Convenience are among the 30 international and local artists that have so far been confirmed for the music and arts festival.
Clockenflap, which was last held in November 2018, is scheduled to take place between March 3 and 5 at the Central Harbourfront.
This will mark the first time Arctic Monkeys, considered one of Britain’s most important bands of the 21st century, will perform in Hong Kong, according to Clockenflap. The single “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” from their critically acclaimed 7th album, The Car, has been nominated for best alternative music performance at the 65th Grammy awards, to be held in February 2023.
They should top the bill on Friday night, and will be joined by Phoenix, fresh off the release of their 7th studio album, Alpha Zulu, and Canadian dream pop trio Men I Trust, among others.
