Clockenflap has unveiled the first wave of artists for its Dec. 4 to 6, 2026 return to Central Harbourfront Event Space, with Hayley Williams, Keshi, Slowdive, Malcolm Todd, and Queens of the Stone Age among the major names heading to the city.
Hayley Williams, the Paramore frontwoman who has also carved out a formidable solo career, will headline on Dec. 5, while alt-R&B artist Keshi tops the Dec. 4 bill. According to the festival organizers, Hong Kong will be the first stop in the region to catch Hayley Williams' latest live show, following her announcement as a Primavera Festival 2027 headliner.
Sunday, Dec. 6, brings Slowdive alongside South Korean indie favorite Hyukoh and alt-rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain, while Sonic Youth Co-Founder Kim Gordon joins the Dec. 4 lineup. Queens of the Stone Age, meanwhile, are scheduled to perform on Dec. 5.
Alternative R&B star Malcolm Todd, jazz duo DOMi & JD BECK, alternative hip-hop veterans Digable Planets, post-punk duo Sleaford Mords, techno heavyweight Marcel Dettmann, and electronic act HE.R Soundsystem are all on the lineup. Singer-songwriter Daniela Andrade, pop-rock band SIX60, alt-R&B vocalist PAMI, dream-pop artist Fazerdaze, genre-blending trio Chanpan, and jazz-fusion Brekky Boy round out the first batch.
More artists are still to be announced.
