  • It has been something of a post-pandemic comeback year for Hong Kong’s concert industry, with shows from Post Malone, Jay Chou and the Backstreet Boys already done and dusted
  • November and December will see a glut of South Korean artists, with shows by Exo’s Chanyeol, singer-songwriter Junny, rock band Se So Neon and girl subgroup Mamamoo+, as well as a K-Hiphop Fest

The Covid-19 pandemic severely impacted Hong Kong’s normally vibrant music scene, with social gatherings and international travel curtailed throughout most of 2020 to 2022. Thankfully, the past year has seen a resurgence in activity, with concerts from the likes of Post Malone, Jay Chou and the legendary Backstreet Boys.

As the world prepares to bid farewell to another year, we take a look at some notable concerts taking place in Hong Kong this November and December.
