Clockenflap 2026 has unveiled its complete lineup, with American hardcore favourites Turnstile confirmed as Sunday's headliner alongside newly announced acts including Cheer Chen, Jane Remover, N.Y.P.D., Wu Tiao Ren, and SOFI TUKKER.
The final wave of artists completes the bill for the Hong Kong music and arts festival, which returns to the Central Harbourfront Event Space from 4 to 6 December.
Turnstile will close the festival on 6 December with a Clockenflap-exclusive performance, bringing their explosive blend of hardcore punk, alternative rock, and melodic experimentation to the waterfront. The Baltimore band have become one of the most prominent names in modern heavy music, earning acclaim for their genre-defying sound and electrifying live shows.

Another major addition is Taiwanese singer-songwriter Cheer Chen (陳綺貞), who returns to Clockenflap on 5 December, a decade after her memorable rain-soaked performance at the festival in 2016.
The latest announcement also welcomes Chinese folk-rock duo Wu Tiao Ren (五條人), experimental pop artist Jane Remover, and Hong Kong post-punk outfit N.Y.P.D. (南洋派對), alongside electronic pop duo SOFI TUKKER, Mandopop singer-songwriter HUSH, and Hong Kong vocalist Cath Wong (黃妍).
Elsewhere, the expanded lineup features R&B singer Gordon Flanders, J-rock-inspired indie band Goodnight Lillie (晚安莉莉), Tuvan throat-singing ensemble Huun-Huur-Tu, South Korean rapper Luci Gang, and bass music selector Kollin.
Also joining the festivities are Room307, Karen y Los Remedios, NONO x Summertime Sadness, KALAI (家麗), Kowloon K, COPAK, Tomii, Midnight Cowboy, Flare, and youth music showcase YROCK, further broadening the festival's diverse musical offerings.
These additions join an already impressive roster announced in October, led by Friday headliner keshi and Saturday headliner Hayley Williams of Paramore.
Other previously confirmed performers include Queens of the Stone Age, Slowdive, HYUKOH, Malcolm Todd, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Kim Gordon, Digable Planets, DOMi & JD BECK, Sleaford Mods, and Marcel Dettmann, among many others.
Beyond its musical programming, Clockenflap will also transform its harbourfront venue into a culinary destination. This year's edition introduces the AMEX Gourmet Club, a new food precinct supported by American Express, featuring a selection of Hong Kong's popular dining establishments.
Returning food partner TamJai International will also serve its signature rice noodles, while 7-Eleven will introduce an on-site festival convenience store offering drinks, snacks, and local street food.
