South Korean ‘alternative K-pop' collective Balming Tiger on Hong Kong and having fun
For 'alternative K-pop' collective Balming Tiger, 'having fun' is what matters most. That is why the group is returning to Hong Kong – its members fondly recall how the enthusiastic crowd pelted them with 'shoes and slippers' during their first performance in the city at the 2023 Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival. 'The energy that Hong Kong people brought to the festival was something else. They were hyped and going crazy,' says frontman and rapper Omega Sapien. 'Usually, we get that when we're in the US or Europe, not in Asia [where] it's calmer. I really loved the energy there. It was quite unforgettable.' Balming Tiger brought out a wild side of Hong Kong two years ago but has been loved worldwide since June 2018, when the group debuted the single 'I'm Sick'. Its energetic music video was nominated for best of the year at the 2019 Korean Hip-hop Awards and has garnered more than 4.7 million views on YouTube. The Seoul-based collective is known for a creativity that crosses musical genres. Their quirky visuals and choreography defy the immaculately polished image of the South Korean entertainment industry. Balming Tiger have collaborated with K-pop giants such as singer-songwriter IU and BTS' leader RM, as well as British rapper Little Simz.

This Father's Day weekend, celebrate Dad with a decadent lunch at Rosewood's American steakhouse, Henry .

For a refined alternative, Michelin-starred Man Ho at JW Marriott offers Cantonese artistry, from delicate dim sum to rich abalone and tea-smoked chicken, finished off with elegant desserts.

Franz Ferdinand, Jacob Collier among Clockenflap 2025 early line-up acts
Chinese-Indonesian rapper Rich Brian, English jazz singer and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier, Scottish indie band Franz Ferdinand, and Beth Gibbons, the vocalist of English alternative electronic band Portishead, are among the early line-up for this year's Clockenflap. Advertisement Early-bird tickets for the annual three-day international music and art event in Hong Kong, scheduled to take place at Central Harbourfront from December 5 to 7, went on sale at 3pm today. Born in Jakarta, 25-year-old Rich Brian – real name Brian Imanuel Soewarno – went viral on YouTube in 2016 with his debut single 'Dat $tick'. He went on to sign with US-based record label 88rising, which promotes Asian and Asian-American artists. Rich Brian first went viral on YouTube in 2016. Photo: Clockenflap Jacob Collier, on the other hand, grew up in a musical family – his mother is a violinist and teacher at the Royal Academy of Music's Junior Academy, and his maternal grandfather was also a violinist, who taught at the Royal Academy of Music. He briefly studied jazz piano at the Royal Academy before going viral in 2013 for his cover songs on YouTube. In 2016, he released his debut album, In My Room, which he made in his North London family home. Franz Ferdinand was formed in Glasgow in Scotland in 2002 and named after Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination in 1914 contributed to the beginning of World War I. The band, however, have said they picked the name mainly for the way it sounds. Advertisement Born in the English city of Exeter, vocalist and lyricist Beth Gibbons is a founding member of the psychedelic rock band Portishead, which formed in 1991. The band returned to the stage in 2022, seven years after their last performance. In 2024, Gibbons released her debut solo album, Lives Outgrown.
