Where Clockenflap shines is its tastemaker reputation to not only pick-out the artists from around the world already defining modern culture, but also to serve as the measuring stick for the very best in talent from across Asia. This year, led by one of the festival’s headliners Japanese superduo Yoasobi, the festival boasts one of the most influential bands in Chinese rock history Omnipotent Youth Society - playing back to back with another seminal Chinese punk force in The Fly. A rare opportunity to catch both playing together, and with the latter celebrating their 30th Anniversary.
