An Eclectic Lineup Across Six Stages

Clockenflap’s six stages will host an incredible lineup of must-see acts spanning a variety of genres, ensuring there’s something for everyone:


  • Harbourflap Stage: The festival’s main stage features headliners like American rock icon Jack White, UK hip-hop sensation Central Cee, and legendary French duo Air, alongside performances by St. Vincent, Glass Animals, and more.

  • Hang Seng Stage: This fan-favourite stage celebrates diversity with performances from indie legends Suede, trailblazing DJ/producer Jamie xx, and Canadian rockers Mother Mother, among others.

  • Park Stage by Martell: Discover emerging talent here, including Korean shoegazers The Black Skirts, UK dance-punk disruptors Fat Dog, and Japanese-Australian indie outfit Last Dinosaurs.

  • Electriq Stage: Dance into the night with pulsating beats from DJs like A-Trak, Partiboi69, and local stars Romain FX and Cris Per.

  • Robot Stage: Family-focused by day, this stage transforms into a DJ hotspot at night, featuring Taiwanese collective Golden English Party and a special Sunday set by Clockenflap’s co-founders.

  • Topper Stage: With a focus on edgy electronic world music, this stage keeps the vibes flowing between Harbourflap sets with acts like DJ Kulu and Neeno.



Artistic Wonders and Family Fun

Clockenflap isn’t just about the music—it’s a feast for the senses. This year’s arts program features stunning installations like the Hello Hong Kong Balloon Chain, the immersive Futurescope by Esthetika, and the visually striking The Origin, a mobile DJ booth and art installation. Families will love kid-friendly activities, including puppet shows, yoga, arts and crafts, and the ever-popular Drum Jam.


Food and Drink to Satisfy Every Craving

With over 24 food outlets, festivalgoers can enjoy a diverse range of cuisines. Highlights include Little Bao, El Taquero, and Pizza Hut’s Cha Chaan Teng experience, plus drinks from Martell Bar and Stella Artois. Whether you’re in the mood for gourmet bites or quick festival fuel, there’s plenty to keep you energized.


We also love that Clockenflap has promised to continue its mission to reduce waste with Green Stations and a streamlined recycling system. All cups and food packaging are 100% compostable, and attendees are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles, with free refills available throughout the site.



Be Part of the Magic

Since its modest start in 2008, Clockenflap has evolved into one of the region’s best festivals, renowned for its diverse programming, and unique blend of music, art, and family-friendly activities. But it is more than a festival — it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and culture. Whether you’re dancing to your favourite artist, discovering new music, or soaking up the art-filled atmosphere, this weekend promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. See you there!
