香港最大型音乐和艺术节 Clockenflap is back! 今年更首次举办三天的Clockenflap宣佈 Franz Ferdinand、崔健、Chic (featuring Nile Rodgers)、Four Tet、G.E.M、tfvsjs、2manyDJs、Modeselektor、Benga、Tegan and Sara同卢凯彤 将参与今年的活动，更多国际和本地重量级表演嘉宾将陆续公佈！ Clockenflap 由Mike Hill、Jay Forster和Justin Sweeting于2008年创立，为香港带来一个值得骄傲的大型节目。一直以来，Clockenflap都不是受利益驱使，主办单位一直为香港大众提供他们所期待渴望，真正属于他们的音乐文化节目。受Glastonbury、Fuji Rock、South by Southwest等国际音乐节所啟发，Clockenflap不但带来国际知名乐队，同时亦把焦点放在区内新进音乐人身上。 踏入第六年的Clockenflap持续增长，不断壮大。今年预期入场人次将进一步攀升。自成立以来，主办单位面对种种挑战，务求为这城市建立一个可持续发展的文化音乐节的模式。凭藉典型的香港拼搏精神，加上获得广泛社会和西九龙文化区的支持，主办单位坚持下去，最终完成近乎不可能的任务，带来一个属于香港的国际级大型文化节。去年参与的外国乐队，均被位处驰名的维港景观之下的西九龙文化区的位置和天然环境完全摄着。Clockenflap将是公众今年体验香港另一面的唯一机会：逃离都市的喧嚣，在香港的动人景色下、青葱草坪上，投入一个与别不同的音乐和多媒体艺术世界。 Clockenflap 入场必备 Web App (powered by Timable) http://clockenflap.timable.com/ Clockenflap, Hong Kong’s premier and largest music and arts festival, today unveiled its third-round announcement of top international and local artists and DJs to join its 2013 event — with 34 more artists/bands/DJs added to the musical line-up, plus the British Council Hong Kong and UK Trade & Investment’s Great Campaign presenting “Restored Treasures: Captivating Hitchcock Silents – Blackmail” screening with live music scoring by Stephen Horne. Leading the musical charge is Cui Jian (pronounced “Sway Jen”), touted as “the father of Chinese rock music” and “Beijing’s answer to Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.” Exclusively presented by Sennheiser, the official sound partner of Clockenflap 2013, Cui Jian tops the Sunday, December 1, line-up. Also confirmed to perform are: Berlin electronic music duo, Modeselektor; Belgium’s alternative rock/electronic specialists, 2ManyDJs; Canadian indie-rock twin-sister duo, Tegan and Sara; British dubstep king, Benga; Syrian master of Arabic folk beats, Omar Souleyman; and New York’s hip-hop/mixtape legend, DJ Neil Armstrong (also best known as Jay-Z’s former tour DJ). Beijing’s DJ/beatmaker duo DJ Wordy & Soulspeak and Hong Kong rockstress, Ellen Loo, also join the new line-up; and singer-guitarist Ryan Hui will perform on opening night, November 29, to mark the end of the global “Movember” campaign, which annually raises funds and awareness for men’s prostate and testicular cancer, and mental health.
