Clockenflap will return to Hong Kong’s iconic Central Harbourfront from 5 to 7 December 2025, with the festival today confirming its first wave of acts and the launch of Early Bird ticket sales. The initial announcement teases another genre-spanning edition, bringing together global names, regional favourites, and local legends.

Headlining the early lineup are Indonesian rap sensation Rich Brian, multi-instrumental British star Jacob Collier, and Scottish indie rockers Franz Ferdinand. Other major highlights include Yoga Lin, Beth Gibbons (formerly of Portishead), and Hong Kong’s own Panther Chan.

Clockenflap’s diverse offering continues with Digitalism (DJ set), Passenger, Soccer Mommy, Phum Viphurit, Chilli Beans., and Riria. A particularly special moment will see the long-awaited live debut of Hong Kong post-punk pioneers Bitter Tea of General Yeng, reuniting after a 40-year hiatus.

Early Bird tickets go on sale from 15:00 HKT on 13 May until 23 May, with limited quantities available via Ticketflap. More artists will be announced in the coming months as Clockenflap gears up for its biggest year yet.
