West Kowloon Cultural District (WestK) has officially unveiled its performing arts lineup for the 2025/26 season, revealing the impressive scale and ambitious spirit of its offerings.
With over 700 performances across 30 programs, WestK is making its case as the region’s leading cultural incubator. The season runs from July 2025 to June 2026, offering a mix of theater, dance, music, and original productions by both homegrown and international artists.

One of the most anticipated highlights is the return of The Impossible Trial, an original Cantonese musical co-created with the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre. Not only has it garnered over 20 awards, but it has also set the performance number and attendance record of a Hong Kong musical touring in the Mainland, in which they attracted over 35,000 people over 23 sold-out shows. Having made waves across Shanghai and Beijing, the show is now returning to Hong Kong for a 30-show run starting August 14 at the Xiqu Centre.
The season is built around five flagship festivals, each distinct in tone and focus.
Longtime favorites like the Black Box Chinese Opera Festival, Freespace Jazz Fest, and Freespace Dance are back with expanded programs and new commissions. Meanwhile, WestK FunFest continues its mission of bringing creative energy to families and younger audiences through playful, accessible formats.

Perhaps the most intriguing addition to this year's lineup is the WestKCabaret Festival, Hong Kong’s first Cabaret Festival, set to launch in June 2026. It promises to spotlight cabaret as a genre ripe for reinvention, pairing live music and storytelling in intimate settings that contrast with the grandeur of traditional venues.
Also noteworthy is the introduction of the WestK Creator Series, an initiative focused on nurturing local artists and spotlighting original productions. It signals a strategic pivot toward long-term cultural production and talent incubation, a move that feels especially timely for Hong Kong’s evolving creative landscape.

With international acts like Dianne Reeves, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre from Taiwan, the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe, and so many more joining the season, the lineup blends regional tradition with global flair. If the past few seasons were about laying foundations, 25/26 looks like the year WestK sets for new heights.

On the roster of talents was Shanghai’s Ryohei Yamagishi, Bar Manager at The Odd Couple; from Bangkok, Attapon De-Silva, Head Bartender of G.O.D. (No. 26 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 list), and Santo Metodo, BarManager of Zuma Bangkok.
The Beat Asia
Representing the home team, Zuma Hong Kong’s very own Bar Manager Andrei Makarevich, who kept the crowd buzzing with bold pours and inventive pairings.
We kicked things off with Andrei’s Spicy Hebi Highball, which tasted more like fruity sunshine than spicy fire. A clean and refreshing blend of Olmeca tequila, clarified Calpis soda, raspberry, orange liqueur, and mango, it came with a dried mango slice on the side, which Andrei advised we eat first to cleanse our palettes.
The Beat Asia
Next up was Ryohei’s T n T, an aromatic mix of Kinobi gin with earl grey, hoji tea, plum, grapefruit, and tonic. It was floral yet crisp, with layers of complexity that snuck up on you.
Santo Metodo from Zuma Bangkok presented the refreshing Ueno Blossom, a floral drink featuring Ki no Bi gin, Sakura vermouth, Sakura liqueur, clarified yuzu, and jasmine rice syrup. It was slightly sweet, with a rice-forward depth that grounded the blossom-y notes.
His Shinjuku Neon was just as poetic: Beefeater 24 gin meets ratafia, shiso liqueur, yuzu, lemon, soda, and a milk wash — light, citrusy, and finished with that unmistakable hint of shiso.
A highlight on the lineup was Attapon De-Silva’s Saketini 2.0, served with a slice of watermelon crowned with uni and a sprinkle of toasted rice salt and black pepper. A fizzy mix of Absolut Elyx, sake, CO₂, and more, this cocktail was tart, and had a subtle balsamic vinegary flavor from the balsamic glaze.
The Beat Asia
And because it wouldn’t be a night at Zuma without a feast, we were served delicious bites on the side. Freshly made hand rolls with tuna, avocado, wagyu fillings bursting with flavor were the perfect complement to the evening’s electric cocktail lineup.
Location: Zuma Hong Kong, Landmark Level 5 & 6 15 Queen's Road Central Hong Kong
