Clockenflap 2018 line-up: David Byrne, Interpol, Khalid to lead Hong Kong music festival
Clockenflap fans received a surprise on Tuesday night when an image of the initial line-up was leaked by one of the international acts. Here is the latest roster of performers
David Byrne, the former frontman of trailblazing new wave band the Talking Heads, and American indie rock giants Interpol lead the list of the first round of artists scheduled for the 2018 Clockenflap festival.
Clockenflap fans received a surprise on Tuesday night when an image of the initial line-up was leaked by one of the international acts ahead of the organisers’ planned announcement on Wednesday afternoon.
Other stand-out artists announced in the first wave include British alternative rock band Wolf Alice, American singer-songwriter Khalid, Canadian experimental electronic outfit Caribou and Japanese musical polymath Cornelius.
The 11th edition of Hong Kong’s biggest annual music and arts festival is scheduled from November 9-11 at the Central Harbourfront event space.
Clockenflap was launched in 2008 as a small-scale event but has since evolved into Hong Kong’s biggest annual music and arts festival, last year attracting more than 30,000 people to each of the three days of its 10th-anniversary edition.
