Big international acts like Rod Stewart, Taylor Swift, Coldplay and The 1975 all chose to skip the city as they tour the world.
Most of those tours will instead visit Hong Kong’s neighbours, such as Japan, Singapore and Thailand. Meanwhile, critics have cited Hong Kong’s lack of a “suitable arena” and even Covid-19 restrictions (during the planning stages of these tours) as reasons it is being overlooked globally.

But some international entertainers still consider Hong Kong one of their key stops in Asia – here are five that did not get away.

1. Olivia Rodrigo

Known for her hit tracks about teenage angst and heartbreak, Olivia Rodrigo has been rising through the ranks at an unprecedented pace since her days as a Disney child star.
