The music festival, which took place last year across two three-day events after a four-year hiatus, returns to its regular winter slot and will take place from November 29 until December 1 at Central Harbourfront on Hong Kong Island.

US rock musician Jack White, one half of former indie rock duo The White Stripes, will make his Hong Kong debut as Clockenflap’s headliner on December 1. He is credited as one of the key figures behind the revival of garage rock in the 2000s.

The singer has, more recently, made headlines for suing former US president Donald Trump for unauthorised use of The White Stripes’ 2003 anthem “Seven Nation Army” in a now-deleted campaign video.
