Alex Turner & Co. will be joined on Friday by French synth-rockers Phoenix, who return to the city for the first time since 2014, and Hong Kong hip-hop don YoungQueenz. Saturday will welcome French multi-instrumentalist FKJ and Norwegian folk-pop duo Kings of Convenience to the stage, while Sunday will be lit up by Japanese singer-songwriter milet, German electronic supergroup Moderat (Modeselektor and Apparat combined), and Japanese experimental rock legends MONO.

In all, 30 acts have been revealed in the first wave announcement, with many more still to come, including the Saturday and Sunday headliners. The much-loved event, which returns to the city for the first time since November 2018, will feature the same full, world-class festival experience that has wowed fans in previous years: a spectacular outdoor environment featuring multiple stages; an eclectic array of top F&B outlets; and a wide-ranging lineup of must-see international, regional and local acts. As before, it will also be a free-standing event, with festivalgoers able to move easily and without restriction between the various stages and attractions throughout the weekend. Festival tickets, priced at HK$1,620 for a three-day pass, or HK$1,080 for single days, are available from www.clockenflap.com until Friday March 3, 2023.
