SIX STAGES OF MUSIC
Harbourflap Stage
The Harbourflap Stage is Clockenflap’s mighty main stage. Find the highest profile artists with the broadest fan bases here alongside acts that you can count on to deliver those spine-tingling singalong moments. Harbourflap highlights this year include headliners PULP (an Asian exclusive), Joji and Yoasobi, plus unmissable sets by post-punk heroes IDLES, singer-songwriter Leah Dou and hip-hop legends De La Soul.
Orbit Stage
Showcasing artists from a wide spectrum of styles, genres and countries, the Orbit Stage celebrates the depth, breadth and diversity of Clockenflap’s lineup, from acclaimed Taiwanese heavyweights No Party For Cao Dong and China’s underground heroes Omnipotent Youth Society, to Japanese all-girl quartet Atarashii Gakko! and UK indie darlings Yard Act, to hotly tipped US urban acts including BBNO$ and d4vd.
Tommy Stage
Set amid the festival site’s grassy lawns, the Tommy Stage is a firm fan favourite, and the best place to catch edgy, emerging talent. Broaden your musical horizons with Otoboke Beaver, Homeshake, Yack Studio and Idiotape, to name but a few.
Electriq
The festival’s dedicated electronic stage, Electriq is where you’ll find top international names such as Darren Emerson, Peking Duk and Cinthie, alongside the very best DJ talent Hong Kong has to offer, including Gia and Xiaolin. In short, this is the place where you can sample the finest in dancefloor energy from day into night.
Robot Stage
With two distinct personalities, the Robot Stage features family-friendly, kids-focused content by day, before turning its attention to DJs and party crews once the sun sets. With highlights including the sublimely eclectic Korean DJ/producer 250, stage takeovers from the likes of FuFu and Triple Happiness Club, plus a slew of respected local acts such as Totti and Major Tom, there’s sure to be an incredible atmosphere—and great memories to be made—at the Robot Stage.
