HKT x WestK Popfest returns to the West Kowloon Cultural District from 1 to 3 November to celebrate music and art in Hong Kong. The festival features an eclectic mix of music, art, and dance, showcasing both local and international talent. Whether you’re a fan of pop, R&B, or immersive art installations, this is one exciting event you don’t want to miss.

Kicking off the festival, the Popnorama concert will take over the outdoor stage at Wonderland. The high-energy event features a stellar line-up of pop acts, including performances by Anson Lo from Mirror, girl group Collar, and rising stars like Phoebus from P1X3L, UK R&B artist Jorja Smith, Japanese singer Hikari Mitsushima, and Korean singer-songwriter Colde.

Celestial Unboxed is a unique concert experience directed by local music producer J1M3. This performance will explore the four astrological elements—fire, earth, water, and wind. The line-up includes talented artists like Jaime Cheung and Kendy Suen.

Beyond ticketed events, WestK Popfest features an array of free activities. From 1 to 3 November, visitors can experience the Submerged Paradise immersive light installation by the renowned UK artistic team Squidsoup. The installation will be accompanied by an outdoor dance party curated by choreographer Shing Mak and beatboxer DJ Heartgrey with a variety of dance genres, including city pop, hip-hop, and contemporary ballet.

Additionally, venues such as the Art Park Great Lawn, Harbourside Lawn East and West, M+, and Lau Bak Livehouse will host diverse acts, ensuring that the festive atmosphere continues throughout West Kowloon. Tickets for the ticketed programmes will be available starting at 10 am on 13 September through Cityline.
