Top 6 Music Festivals in Hong Kong to Experience Before You Die

Hong Kong, Music Festivals, Party

If you’re looking for some quality music festivals in Hong Kong, you’ve come to the right place.  While Hong Kong might not have as many to choose like there are in Europe, U.S.A, and Australia — there are still some amazing events that should be added to your festival bucket list.  Hong Kong is also one of the best cities to visit in Asia, and planning a trip for one of these festivals will make your travels pretty epic!

Take a look at what I think are the top 6 Music Festivals in Hong Kong to experience before you die.


1 ) Clockenflap

When:  November 17-19, 2017

Where:  Central Harbourfront 

OFFICIAL WEBSITE

“At its sprightly core, Clockenflap is all about people – at their individual and collective, shared best. It is about music at it’s most inspirational. Art at its most accessible.  It’s about discovery, about community. About laughter, camaraderie and unashamed nonsense. It’s about the independent spirit, celebrating creativity and paying it forward. It’s about shoes off on the grass and time machines.
It is three magic days in November where the collective sum of all these parts unite, creating an utterly mysterious and supremely infectious universe, all set against the city’s luminous skyline.

It is, quite simply, the best weekend’s worth of fun to be had in Hong Kong.

2 )  Road to Ultra:  Hong Kong

When:  Mid September (Next Festival TBA)

Where:  West Kowloon Cultural District 

OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Ultra Music Festival might not be an evil dictator, but it kinda seems like they are after complete global domination.  The “Road To Ultra” festival series debuted in Hong Kong in 2016, and brought a pretty stacked EDM line-up to the Kowloon District.  With massive stages, excellent production, and big name electronic DJ’s — you definitely don’t want to miss out when Ultra returns to Hong Kong
