Hong Kong’s Clockenflap Festival has announced that Joji‘s headlining slot this weekend (December 3) will be replaced by a set from Swae Lee.
The announcement comes after Joji revealed earlier this week that he would have to cancel his appearances in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong over “health reasons”. As a result, Joji’s closing set at Clockenflap 2023 has been cancelled.
Now, Clockenflap has taken to social media to share that the festival will instead be closed out by Swae Lee. Similarly, D4vd had to cancel his ongoing run of Asia shows due to vocal strain, and is now being replaced by N.Y.P.D at Clockenflap.
The annual music and arts festival is set to return from December 1-3 at the Central Harbourfront in Hong Kong, led by performances from Pulp and YOASOBI, among many more. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here. Single-day passes for Saturday and Sunday are still available.
Also performing at the festival this weekend are the likes of IDLES, Caroline Polachek, No Party For Cao Dong, Omnipotent Youth Society, BBNO$, Prep, Alex G, Yard Act, 9m88, Atarashii Gakko!, Otoboke Beaver and more.
Clockenflap ended its four-year hiatus in March this year with a three-day, sold-out festival headlined by Arctic Monkeys, Wu-Tang Clan, The Cardigans and Bombay Bicycle Club. The day after the March fest concluded, Clockenflap announced that it would be returning later this year from December 1-3.
