Hong Kong’s famous outdoor music and arts festival Clockenflap is returning with a bang this year as the organisers have unveiled the full line-up of acts for the highly anticipated 2024 edition! Set to take place from 29 November to 1 December, the festival is gearing up to deliver three days of world-class entertainment for music fans at the Central Harbourfront Event Space.
Leading the charge is none other than maverick rock icon Jack White, who will be making his long-awaited Hong Kong debut as the Sunday night headliner. Fresh off the release of his critically acclaimed sixth solo album No Name, the former frontman of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather is poised to bring Clockenflap to a triumphant conclusion with his electrifying performance.
Joining the line-up as Friday headliners is the French electronic act Air. Fresh off a show-stopping performance at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the duo will be treating festival-goers to a mesmerising live rendition of the seminal 1998 debut album Moon Safari.
Also gracing the Clockenflap stage this year is the ever-evolving and boundary-pushing US singer-songwriter St Vincent, who will be showcasing her impeccable discography, including tracks from her latest album All Born Screaming. British rapper Central Cee will add to the excitement on Saturday. Rounding out the Sunday night line-up is British DJ and producer Jamie XX of the acclaimed indie act The XX.
Other notable acts set to perform include Canadian indie rockers Mother Mother, Japanese-Australian band Last Dinosaurs, and a diverse array of talent from across the Asia-Pacific region, including Taiwanese acts Deca Joins and Gigantic Roar, Thai singer-songwriter Violette Wautier, South Korean guitarist Memi, Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts, Japanese singer Yama, Chinese indie group Hiperson, and many more.
Local talents will be featured too, including Hong Kong songwriter-singer Serrini, shoegaze band Lucid Express, An Id Signal, and many more.
Clockenflap 2024 tickets are now on sale, and those hoping to grab passes are advised to act fast, as the festival has a history of selling out quickly. For more information and the complete line-up, click here.
