Any indie music shows to check out in Hong Kong from Feb 7 - 13, 2025?

Valentine’s Day is for the lovers – the metal lovers, that is. Come to Wave Music on 15 February for a heart-thumping night of heavy music.

The evening kicks off with CMDZ, a rising metalcore band known for their powerful sound driven by vociferous emotional intensity.Next up, you’ll get heart-eyed for Protoss神族, a dominant force on Hong Kong’s death metal scene. This reformed band unleashes an unrelenting sound with aggressive downtempo rhythms and brutal breakdowns, delivering a visceral live experience. Stand well back if you don’t want to get beer splashed on your dinner suit. For a formidable final overture, Snails will take the stage. Comprised of members from the likes of King Lychee, Dagger and Kyanos, this rowdy hardcore escargatoire have an explosive energy hidden under their tough shell. 

Grab tickets and your paramour, and get ready to raise your cup to the occasion’s namesake martyred Roman saint with a decibel-crushing, headbang-inciting night of mayhem.

Hey all,

Looking for venue recommendations which have live music, fairly flexible tastes as per title.

I'll be in HK centeal for a couple of weeks 14/01 - 27/01 hope to catch some local music.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys I'm looking for some places to listen to these genres of music and maybe make some friends there. I stay in the New Territories, so closer is better.

Does anyone know the sound system coldplay is going to use for their upcoming concert ?

I have heard that the concerts in hong kong don't usually have a good sound system.

Can we compare it with concerts in India ?

Edit: Coldplay is coming to India as well for the show, but in a different city than where i live. So I wanted to compare the sound experience to decide which one to attend. I don't mind attending the hong kong one, as I wanted to plan a week long trip around it.

Going to be in Hongkong from December 27 until December 30, are there any upcoming underground or indie shows that I could check out? Any genre is fine! Thank you.

Gonna be in HK for a little over a week and was looking for any shows that are happening.

Preferably punk/hardcore but I’m open to anything!

I’m a 24y/o girl in HK and I know how to play the piano, violin (tho not really useful in a band) and I can sing, I love soft indie music like men I trust, Khruangbin, Feng Suave and Menahan Street band etc. I also like soul/ Neo soul and jazz music like Thee Sineers, Gotts Street Park, Erykah Badu, Cleo Sol and Berlioz. And of course the classic Beatles, Stevie Wonder and a band that I really like right now is The Lemon Twigs. I also like R&B like The Internet. And many other jazz classics like John Coltrane and Chet baker.

I bought a bass guitar recently to learn how to play it and tried to make songs by playing all the instruments myself, but I find it a bit hard because I cannot play the drums.

So if you’re reading this, and you also like this kind of music, I’m looking for like-minded drummer, guitarist and bass guitarist to from a band in Hong Kong for fun, mainly to chill who also would like to make music in their spare time. Please comment/ dm me if you’re interested. Would be really fun to create some good vibrations together! x

Edit: A keyboard player who can play Blues/Jazz/Soul/Gospel would be very great too! Please reach out if you're interested :)

The song aired on 92.10 FM on Saturday 26/10/2024 somewhere between 6pm - 6:30 pm.

I was in an Uber and by the time the song reached its end, it was too late to do a song scan. It was probably a Cantonese song

New in HK btw. If anyone has a list of what songs aired during that time it would be great. Thank you

Hi all, just wanted to share three punk/emo/alt shows in November and December this year 2024. For all you alternative souls. They are:

1. BLANK SLATE (biggest punk festival in HK, Nov 16)
2. The End is Beautiful Fest 2024 (emo and shoegaze festival, Dec 7)
3. Soccer. Live in HK (screamo band from Japan! Dec 19)

The three organisers are also doing a discount if you choose to go to all three shows - at $1200, a $400 discount from the original price. Which is very cool! (DM desperate.infant.records on instagram for details)

See you then~!

Hello! I’m visiting family from Chicago/US (home of house music 😊) and was hoping to do go clubbing or something more underground. I love everything from DnB, trance, dembow, perreo, stutter house, acid, etc…

Looking for suggestions or people to go with, as this is my first time here!

Thanks! ☺️

Talented as in singing ability

I see people on here are looking for hardcore stuff in Hong Kong so I’m just dropping the link here!! https://www.instagram.com/p/C9MhQaWRddN/?igsh=MTk0OGlpdGo3aWhzYw==

If you like hardcore punk and you live in HK or happened to be in HK during this time you do not wanna miss this!!

This might be the first time ever a diy event like this is able to bring together hc bands from all over Asia to play in HK! You can check the full line up in the link but there will be bands from HK, China, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, and Philippines! This might be the first and only time something like this will ever happen in Hong Kong so yeah, I feel like more people should know about this!

Looking for beatmakers to work on cool shit.

A new series from Punks In Pubs called Punks Unknown. Kicking off in Hong Kong talking about the punk scene

Podcasts can be streamed via all podcast streaming platforms just search 'Punks In Pubs'

Saw these candlelight concert ads on instagram and wanted to ask if anyone has been to one and is it worth it?? Especially the ones HK. Just wanted to get someone’s opinion

Thinking about taking my girlfriend for Halloween but at 500 seems a bit little steep

Hi there,

I am going to Hong Kong from October 5 - 16 2024 and was hoping to check out some underground indie/alternative shows while I'm there. I've been searching online, but having a hard time finding stuff. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

Hi, I'm travelling to HK beginning of December and was looking for some hardcore/metal/rock concerts during those dates. If nothing is going on or there is no info published yet, just knowing about some venues or bars would be great. I come from Spain, so I have no clue about the hardcore scene there. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

It was a mixture of cantonese and english rapping and the english part kept repeating 852. I think overall there were 3 rappers in it.
