[7 October, 2026] — Clockenflap, Asia’s premier international outdoor music and arts festival, has announced the first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, set to take place at Central Harbourfront Event Space from 4 to 6 December 2026. Featuring an exciting mix of international stars, alternative music icons and emerging talents, this year’s festival promises another memorable weekend for music lovers across the region.

Leading the first wave of announcements are HAYLEY WILLIAMS, frontwoman of Paramore and an acclaimed solo artist, and alternative R&B sensation KESHI. HAYLEY WILLIAMS is scheduled to headline Saturday’s programme and close the festival with her electrifying live performance, following her recent announcement as a headliner for Primavera Festival 2027. Her appearance at Clockenflap will also give Hong Kong fans the opportunity to experience her live show before audiences elsewhere in the region.

The newly revealed lineup brings together an impressive range of established acts and contemporary favourites. Shoegaze pioneers SLOWDIVE will perform on Sunday, while rising alternative R&B artist MALCOLM TODD, hard rock powerhouse QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, indie favourites HYUKOH, influential alternative rock band THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, and Sonic Youth co-founder KIM GORDON are also set to take the stage.

The festival’s diverse musical offering extends across jazz, hip-hop, electronic music, pop-rock and experimental sounds. Confirmed performers include jazz innovators DOMi & JD BECK, alternative hip-hop pioneers DIGABLE PLANETS, post-punk duo SLEAFORD MODS, techno heavyweight MARCEL DETTMANN, electronic duo HE.R SOUNDSYSTEM, singer-songwriter DANIELA ANDRADE, veteran pop-rock band SIX60, alternative R&B vocalist PAMI, dream-pop artist FAZERDAZE, genre-blending trio CHANPAN, and jazz-fusion outfit BREKKY BOY.

Beyond its music programme, Clockenflap will once again transform Hong Kong’s Central Harbourfront into a vibrant festival destination, framed by the city’s iconic skyline and dramatic harbour views. Attendees can explore multiple stages featuring international, regional and local performers, alongside spectacular art installations, family-friendly workshops, live performances and a wide selection of food and beverages from some of the city’s best-loved outlets.

With its combination of live music, art, food and family-friendly activities, Clockenflap 2026 is set to offer a multifaceted festival experience for audiences of different ages and musical tastes. The event continues to strengthen its position as a major fixture on Asia’s live entertainment calendar, bringing together diverse creative communities against one of Hong Kong’s most distinctive waterfront backdrops.

Clockenflap Music & Arts Festival 2026 is financially supported by the Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.
