Revered as one of the most unique festivals on the planet, Clockenflap – Asia’s premier international outdoor and arts festival – has announced the first details of its 2026 programme bringing together jaw-dropping international trailblazers, global titans and essential artists from across Asia into one unmissable mix.
Leading the first wave of names for 2026 is 21st-century icon Hayley Williams. Across a 20+ year career, Hayley has become a synonymous figure across different scenes – first with her time leading Paramore across the globe and in recent years combining that with a solo career that continues to deliver and deliver. Cited as one of the most influential voices in modern pop culture and following the release of her latest solo record ‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’ – Hayley Williams’ set at Clockenflap Festival 2026 is set to be a true moment.
Also announced today is the cutting emotional power of keshi, set to close the Friday of Clockenflap 2026 with the set of gripping alt-R&B cuts that has seen him become a beloved cult figure across the planet. A true global superstar, he ushers in a new era at Clockenflap 2026. Joining the lineup is one of modern rock’s greatest bands in the form of Queens of the Stone Age. Led by the unmistakable swagger of Josh Homme, they’ve become renowned for one of the very best live shows on the planet – with cuts like ‘No One Knows’, ‘Go With The Flow’, ‘Make It Wit U’, ‘Feel Good Hit Of The Summer’ and more becoming synonymous with rock and roll royalty. Expect no different when they arrive in Hong Kong this December. Shoegaze royalty slowdive come to Clockenflap 2026 for a special set celebrating their iconic career and the far-reaching impact they continue to have, whilst fast-rising pop newcomer Malcolm Todd lands in Hong Kong as his ascent to the top of the pop pecking order continues. Few bands have had the influence and impact that The Jesus And Mary Chain have had, making their appearance at Clockenflap this December one that’s bound to pull everyone close whilst another trailblazing icon Kim Gordon comes to Hong Kong fresh from the release of her universally acclaimed latest solo album ‘Play Me’. With Sleaford Mods, HYUKOH, Digable Planets, DOMi & JD BECK, Marcel Dettmann, Hong Kong’s own HE.R Soundsystem and many more amongst the first wave of names – it lays a marker down for a landmark festival weekend to round out 2026 combining rich culture and iconic names in one spot.
With its stunning outdoor setting framed by the towering skyline and set against the dramatic harbour backdrop, Clockenflap will once again deliver the full, world-class festival experience that has made it an unmissable date for music fans around the region. Alongside multiple stages showcasing a wide-ranging lineup of must-see international, regional and local acts, fans can look forward to an array of spectacular art installations, family-friendly workshops and performances, and a mouth-watering selection of food and drink from some of the city’s best-loved outlets.
