There’s something about Clockenflap that lingers long after the music fades. Maybe it’s the memory of dancing with the loved ones, or it’s how the passionate strangers reinterpreted a festival experience. For years, Hong Kong’s premier music and arts festival has been the place where indie meets mainstream, where global sounds collide under Hong Kong’s skyline, and where strangers become friends over beats, drinks, and food.

Now, with the second wave of its 2025 lineup officially released, Clockenflap is turning up the volume, and the anticipation. The newly announced artists add even more depth, diversity, and surprise to an already stacked roster, promising a weekend, from December 5–7, 2025, that’s not just unforgettable, but unrepeatable, promising another genre-blurring, culture-crossing celebration of sound, dance, and culture.

DJ duo Johnny Takigero and Pesky Azabu Punks will also perform on Friday, bringing Tokyo’s underground pulse to the harborfront.

Bolis Pupul will play on Saturday — Courtesy of Clockenflap

UK techno pioneer Dave Clarke and Belgian electronic provocateur Bolis Pupul add edge to the night, while Japanese duo Rikon Densetsu (離婚伝説) and Taiwanese funk bandRobot Swing round out the eclectic mix.

Jeremy Zucker will play on Sunday — Courtesy of Clockenflap

Rising Polish guitar virtuoso Marcin, Singaporean synth-pop artist Yeule, and Estonian nu-folk duo Puuluup bring global flair to the final day, alongside UK dubstep DJ RSD, DJ/producer Special Request, and Taiwanese indie voice Andr.

Having long been more than a music festival, Clockenflap is a cultural ritual. Since its founding in 2008, it’s grown into Asia’s premier outdoor music event, known for its open-minded spirit, waterfront views, and immersive art installations. Past editions have featured surprise collaborations, spontaneous dance circles, and abundance of joy.

If you’ve ever dreamed of floating above Hong Kong’s iconic skyline in a hot air balloon, this September might just be your moment. The city is set to host its first-ever AIA International Hot Air Balloon Fest (HABFest), and it’s shaping up to be one of the most visually stunning and unexpectedly cool events of the year.

From September 4 to 7, 2025, the Central Harbourfront Event Space will be transformed into a vibrant playground of color, music, and sky-high adventure. The festival will feature over a dozen hot air balloons from around the world, including Canada, Germany, the UK, and Japan. Expect everything from classic striped giants to quirky character-shaped inflatables like a panda and a cat.

While free-fly balloon flights aren’t on the menu, tethered rides are, giving festival-goers the chance to gently rise 10 to 20 meters above the city for stunning panoramic views of Victoria Harbour.

Underground rave culture has always been more than just music. It’s a movement built on freedom, connection, andsound. Born from warehouse parties and DJ collectives, it thrives in spaces where people gather not for status, but for the shared experience of rhythm and release. In 2025, Hong Kong’s underground scene is alive and evolving, driven by a growing appetite for alternative genres, inclusive dancefloors, and community-led energy.

At the heart of this culture is the PLUR ethos — Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. First coined by New York DJ Frankie Bones in the early ’90s, PLUR soon became a guiding philosophy for ravers worldwide. It’s what separates underground spaces from commercial nightlife: no velvet ropes, no bottle service, just dancers who look out for each other, DJs who play for the vibe, not the algorithm, and venues that prioritize sonic exploration over spectacle.

While raves are often thought of as one-off, nomadic events, undergroundclubs are their more permanent counterparts, spaces that carry the same spirit night after night. These clubs typically feature genres like techno, drum & bass, hardcore, footwork, and experimental electronic — sounds that challenge the mainstream and invite immersion. They’re often raw, intimate, and tucked into basements, lofts, or repurposed industrial corners. But in a city like Hong Kong, where space is scarce and rents are high, some venues blur the lines, offering underground experiences within more polished or curated environments.

Read on for both the core venues that anchor Hong Kong’s underground rave scene and the bridges — spaces that may not be underground by structure, but host events and collectives that embody the culture’s values. Whether you’re chasing basslines or community, here’s where to plug in.

Hong Kong Clubs and Underground Venues

Social Room

A loft-stylevenue above Stanley Street, Social Room is one of Hong Kong’s most consistent homes for underground electronic music. With a semi-industrial vibe and a dedicated dancefloor, it regularly hosts weekend parties featuring genres like drum & bass, garage, techno, and experimental bass. It’s a reliable spot for those seeking raw sound and community-driven energy.

Location: Social Room, 3/F, Won Hing Building, 74-78 Stanley St, Central

宀 Club

Hidden in Sheung Wan, 宀Club is a minimalist, no-photo venue built around deep listening and sonic immersion. With a Funktion-One sound system and a capacity of around 100, it offers a focused environment for techno and ambient sets. While not open every night, their programming is intentional and curated, with each event designed to reflect the club’s commitment to underground culture.

Location: 宀 Club,4F, 279-281 Des Voeux Rd Central, Sheung Wan

OMA

What the inside of a typical underground club looks like

Tucked underneath Wyndham Street just off of Pottinger, OMA is a long-standing fixture in Hong Kong’s underground scene. Known for its late-night sessions and genre-spanning sets with techno, acid, bass, and breakbeats, it operates primarily on weekends. The club’s intimate layout makes it a go-to for purists and night owls.

Location: Oma Hong Kong, LB/F, Harilela House, No. 79 Wyndham Street, Central

SLAP (拍)

A two-room venue in Mong Kok, SLAP (拍) is a rising force in the city’s underground circuit. While its programming varies week to week, it frequently hosts genre-fluid events featuring techno, drum & bass, footwork, and more. SLAP is especially known for spotlighting emerging artists and collectives pushing sonic boundaries.

Location: Slap, 2/F, Spark City, 25 Tong Mi Rd, Mong Kok

Bamboo

Located in Central, Bamboo is a newer underground venue with a raw aesthetic and immersive lighting. It doesn’t host events nightly, but when it does, expect genres like deep techno, house, and experimental sets in a tightly curated environment. Bamboo has quickly earned a reputation for delivering high-impact underground experiences.

Location: Bamboo Hong Kong, G/F, 21 D'Aguilar Street, Central

The Trilogy

A multi-concept venue in Central, The Trilogy includes Keyz (its clubbing section), Ella (the speakeasy), and Wav (a rooftop bar). While not a dedicated underground venue, Keyz occasionally hosts events that lean into house, techno, and alternative electronic styles. It’s a polished space that occasionally channels subcultural energy.

Location: The Trilogy, 26/F, H Code, 45 Pottinger St, Central

Soho House

A members-only club in Sheung Wan, Soho House isn’t underground by design but it has hosted events featuring underground DJs and collectives. These are occasional and curated, often tied to cultural programming or special collaborations. It’s a platform where underground sounds meet a design-forward crowd.

Location: Soho House, 33 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan

Terrible Baby

Inside Eaton HK, the hotel's bar Terrible Baby blends cocktails, art, and music. Its Music Room occasionally hosts experimental DJ nights and inclusive events like Queertopia. While not a club in the traditional sense, it’s a cultural playground where underground energy surfaces through curated programming.

Location: Terrible Baby, 4/F, Eaton HK, 380 Nathan Road, Kowloon

On top of nightlife, these eight venues are gateways to sonic discovery. From rising local selectors to international DJs passing through on low-key tours, Hong Kong’s underground spaces are where new sounds break and subcultures connect.

Some nights might feel like a secret shared among a hundred dancers. Others might surprise you with a world-class artist playing an intimate set far from the festival circuit. That’s the beauty of the underground for it’s unpredictable, unfiltered, and always evolving. If you’re looking to experience the pulse of the city beyond the mainstream, these are the places to start.

The Crews Behind the Sound: Hong Kong’s Underground DJ Collectives

If underground venues are the skeleton of the scene, DJ collectives are its beating heart. These crews shape the sonic identity of Hong Kong’s rave culture, curating lineups, building communities, and pushing genre boundaries. Some operate in established clubs, others in pop-up spaces, warehouses, or outdoor locations announced only hours before. Their presence is what transforms a room into a movement.

Abyss

Abyss, co-founded by Shanda (now based in Berlin) and Angelika, is a techno-forward collective known for sporadic but unforgettable parties. Their sound is percussive, psychedelic, and uncompromising, often featuring artists from Europe. Abyss events are rare nowadays, but when they happen, expect full houses.

Dark Metaz (黯)

Dark Metaz(黯) is a collective that leans into the shadows. Their sound is deep, dubby, and cinematic in genres like dub techno, experimental bass, and ambient textures. Besides holding parties themselves, they’ve also brought international artists like Hamdi and The Glitch Mob to Hong Kong, but their real strength lies in crafting immersive atmospheres that feel more ritual than rave.

Feed the Dragon

Feed the Dragon is a bass-driven collective with a mission to champion UK sounds across Asia. From jungle to drum & bass, to garage, their events are rhythmic rebellions. They’ve launched a label, hosted workshops, and played in cities from Hanoi to Amsterdam, always having an ear tuned to the underground.

Goldway

Goldway channels the hypnotic side of rave culture. Their sets explore ambient, deep techno, and psychedelic rhythms, often performed in intimate venues or outdoor gatherings. Goldway’s sound is meditative and transportive, the music for dancers who close their eyes and drift.

Heavy Hong Kong

Heavy Hong Kong, for more than 2 decades, has been the city’s bass authority. Known for their custom-built sound system and devotion to drum & bass, dubstep, and reggae, they’ve hosted parties in places around the city, featuring bass you feel in your chest, not just your ears.

MÖTH Agency

MÖTH Agency is a queer-led collective that blends nightlife with cultural programming. Their parties are inclusive, genre-fluid, and often paired with workshops, radio sessions, and community outreach. MÖTH’s regular broadcasts feature up-and-coming DJs from around the world, making them a vital bridge between Hong Kong’s underground and the global electronic scene.

Slimefest

Slimefest, known for high-energy raves and genre collisions, co-hosted Hong Kong’s first Keep Hush party, spotlighting local talents like StickyFriedVibes and Baby Diwata. Their events are unapologetic, sweaty, and deeply communal.

Yeti Out

Yeti Out is perhaps the most globally recognized of Hong Kong’s collectives. With roots in streetwear and subculture, they’ve hosted parties from London to Shanghai and recently played at Boiler Room Hong Kong. While their brand has grown, members still appear in underground events, keeping one foot firmly planted in the scene that raised them.

0159 Group

0159 Group emerged during the pandemic and quickly became a force in Hong Kong’s nightlife. Led by Yueming and Noscope720, they’ve hosted genre-spanning events featuring UK garage, breaks, and experimental club sounds. Their visual identity is raw and futuristic, and their bookings often include international artists on low-key tours.

Together, these collectives, alongside many more, form the soul of Hong Kong’s rave culture. They’re curators, connectors, educators, and provocateurs. Whether you’re stepping into a club or following a pin drop to a secret venue, chances are one of these crews is behind the decks, shaping the night.

In less than a month after Hong Kong Football Festival 2025, the city is gearing up for another football spectacle unlike any hosted before.

From August 19 to 23, the city will welcome the 2025 Saudi Super Cup, marking the first time the prestigious tournament is held outside the Middle East.

All matches will take place at the 40,000-seat Hong Kong Stadium in Causeway Bay, bringing top-tier Saudi Pro League action to local and international fans.

Four clubs are set to compete: Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, and Al-Qadsiah. Originally slated to appear, Al-Hilal withdrew due to scheduling conflicts, with Al-Ahli stepping in to complete the lineup. The semifinals kick off with Al-Nassr facing Al-Ittihad on August 19, followed by Al-Ahli vs Al-Qadsiah on August 20. The winners will meet in the final onAugust 23.

And most, if not all, attention is currently on Cristiano Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner arrived in Hong Kong on August 14 with Al-Nassr to a crowd of fans braving the rain outside Regent Hong Kong. He’s expected to lead his team in the semifinal, joined by fellow stars João Félix and Jader Duran. Al-Ittihad counters with its own elite lineup, including Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante, setting the stage for a showdown between two former Real Madrid icons.

Alongside the headline acts from Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, fans in Hong Kong will also get a close-up look at the rising firepower of Al-Ahli and Al-Qadsiah. Al-Ahli arrives with a stacked roster featuring Riyad Mahrez, Ivan Toney, and Edouard Mendy. On the other side, Al-Qadsiah, fresh off a strong domestic campaign, boasts a mix of seasoned talent and emerging stars with former Real Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez anchors the backline.
