Clockenflap returns to the Central Harbourfront this afternoon with an eclectic line-up of pop and rock acts from around the globe. But if live music is not your cup of tea, there is plenty more to do around town. Here are our event highlights for this weekend.
1. Clockenflap
Suede’s 90-minute set on Saturday night promises to attract a crowd of a certain age, but Clockenflap also has plenty on offer for younger music fans, including London-based rapper Central Cee, Hong Kong singer Serrini, American indie pop duo Bubble Tea and Cigarettes and South Korean band The Black Skirts.
Other familiar names include Jack White, formerly of the White Stripes, and Air, the French music duo consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel.
The festival will have 24 stalls serving food and drinks, including Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant – which will serve its signature barbecued Cherry Valley duck with rice – and the Martell bar, which will serve an exclusive cocktail made with Martell Noblige Cognac.
There are still tickets available. One-day passes are priced at HK$1,280 (US$165), while the three-day bundle is HK$1,990.
Clockenflap, Central Harbourfront, 9 Lung Wo Road Central, Nov 29-Dec 1, Fri-Sun. Tickets available here.

2. New Moon Ceremony: Dreamscape with Blue Lotus
Ceremonial artist Ming Li will perform a new moon singing bowl sound bath and serve blue-lotus-infused tea to guide participants into a deep state of introspection to find clarity and connect with their higher selves.
