1) CLOCKENFLAP – HONG KONG:
When: November 9 to 11, 2018
Where: Central Harbourfront, Hong Kong
At its sprightly core, Clockenflap is all about people – at their individual and collective, shared best. It is about music at its most inspirational. Art at its most accessible. It’s about discovery, about community. About laughter, camaraderie and unashamed nonsense. It’s about the independent spirit, celebrating creativity and paying it forward. It’s about shoes off on the grass and time machines.
It is three magic days in November where the collective sum of all these parts unite, creating an utterly mysterious and supremely infectious universe, all set against the city’s luminous skyline.
2) ROAD TO ULTRA - HONG KONG:
When: Mid-September (Next Festival TBA)
Where: West Kowloon Cultural District
Ultra-Music Festival might not be an evil dictator, but it kinda seems like they are after complete global domination. The “Road to Ultra” festival series debuted in Hong Kong in 2016 and brought a pretty stacked EDM line-up to the Kowloon District. With massive stages, excellent production, and big-name electronic DJ’s — you definitely don’t want to miss out when Ultra returns to Hong Kong.
