Hongkongers are set to flock to the city’s biggest international music and arts festival this weekend, as Clockenflap unveils its three-day schedule at the Central Harbourfront.
For the first time in its 15-year history, the festival has sold out, leaving fans scrambling for tickets. Revellers will also be relieved to see the mask mandate dropped this week, meaning they can enjoy the 100-odd live acts mask-free from this Friday through to Sunday.
