Clockenflap is in its eighth year and this event brought Hong Kong another wild weekend. SCMP was blogging live until Sunday night and we present the full live experience for readers to recap.

Day 2, November 28

11.45pm

Clockenflap day two has closed with thousands of smiling weary faces satisfied as they head for the MTR home. What a day, with Mercury Rev and The Libertines closing on a rocking note, and A$ap Rocky blowing the crowd away with something new to the Hong Kong event.

11.43pm

THE LIBERTINES

The Libertines arrived onstage (shock!) early with a tight set of classic tracks, starting with Horrorshow and moving pretty quickly to the indie club classic Can't Stand Me Now.

Singer Pete Doherty was on his best behaviour - finally clean, and accompanied by his rehab therapist on tour - and the band seemed genuinely concerned about putting on a solid show.

"I dedicate this one to an old neighbour of mine who now lives in Hong Kong and designs dildos," Doherty announced before the band launched into Time for Heroes. Fighting the good fight.

One lucky fan (or unlucky, depending where it landed) got to keep Pete Doherty's guitar!
