Hong Kong’s biggest outdoor music and arts festival, Clockenflap, is gearing up for another unforgettable three-day celebration at Central Harbourfront from December 5 to 7, 2025. With a newly announced wave of performers joining the already stacked lineup, the anticipation is higher than ever.

Here’s a breakdown of why this year’s festival is set to be one of its most iconic editions yet.

Vaundy’s First Performance Outside Japan

Japanese music sensation Vaundy is stepping onto the international stage for the very first time, and Clockenflap has secured his only Asian show outside Japan this year. Fans of J-pop will witness history on opening night as the chart-topping artist makes his global festival debut in Hong Kong.

Sparks Bring Their Art-Pop Energy to Hong Kong

Legendary art-pop duo Sparks will be performing in Hong Kong for the first time ever. Known for their eccentric stage presence and groundbreaking sound, their Friday night performance is set to be a highlight for fans of alternative and experimental music.

ELLEGARDEN Returns with Japanese Rock Power

Veteran rockers ELLEGARDEN are making a long-awaited appearance, bringing their high-energy anthems to Sunday’s lineup. Their return is expected to electrify audiences and cement their place as one of Asia’s most influential rock bands.

Jeremy Zucker Adds American Indie Charm

US singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker will take the stage on Sunday, performing his heartfelt hits that blend indie-pop and electronic sounds. His emotionally charged music is sure to resonate with younger festival-goers looking for intimate yet powerful live moments.

L’Impératrice Keeps the Dancefloor Moving

French nu-disco powerhouse L’Impératrice will keep the Saturday night groove alive with their infectious beats. Their retro-futuristic sound is tailor-made for festival nights under the Hong Kong skyline.

Tributes and Local Talent Shine Bright

Clockenflap continues to celebrate local artistry, with Chung’s Astrology paying tribute to late Hong Kong indie legend Kwan King Chung by performing his final works. Alongside them, acts like Azabu Punks and DJ Johnny Takigero will set Friday’s stage on fire with hometown creativity.

Global Acts Add Even More Diversity

This year’s second wave brings in big names across genres and regions, from Dave Clarke’s UK techno mastery to Marcin’s jaw-dropping guitar skills from Poland. Rising stars like Yeule (Singapore), Puuluup (Estonia), and Robot Swing (Taiwan) ensure that the festival remains a global cultural melting pot.

Beyond Music: Full Festival Experience

Clockenflap isn’t just about music. Festivalgoers can expect massive art installations, interactive workshops, family-friendly performances, and world-class food and beverage choices. The harbourfront backdrop adds to the magic, making it more than just a concert series—it’s an immersive cultural experience.
