Big names such as Pharrell Williams, Gaspard Auge of Justice, Busy P, and Breakbot, are descending on Hong Kong for the debut of an all-day concert called BLOHK PARTY.
Set to take place on Saturday, December 7th, the mega-event also features local talents LMF, 24 Herbs, Edison Chen (with M.C. Yan and Chef,) as well as Josie and the Uni Boys.
The one-day music festival is curated by Pharrell Williams and features an impressive line-up of DJs and bands. The all-day event begins at noon and goes until 10pm.
Additional acts will be announced in the weeks to come. You can keep in touch with the latest developments on the Blohk Party Facebook page.
Concert tickets come in different types and range from student pricing at $600 HKD, all the way up to exclusive VIP passes for $1288 HKD. Early admission price for adults, available up to December 6th, is $788 HKD. Tickets on the concert day will be $888 HKD.
Since it takes place over ten hours, there will be restaurant and bar tents that allow concert-goers to eat and drink throughout the afternoon and evening. Look for these partners to be addeded soon. You can get more details about the different options on the official Blohk Party site.
Blohk party is the brainchild of Hong Kong’s Kevin Poon, who, over the last nine years, has grown into a major force, having a hand in dozens of interesting events, from exhibitions and pop-ups, to concerts and fashion shows. You can keep up with Kevin via his blog at thekevinpoon.com.
The West Kowloon setting is an amazing place for a concert. It was first utilized during Kanye West’s debut performance in the city back in November 2006, (which was also an event partially organized by Hong Kong’s CLOT.)
Busy P
Blohk Party will double as the Hong Kong leg of the official Ed Banger 10th anniversary tour, and label founder Busy P will be performing alongside several of his biggest artists. Many of them have performed in Hong Kong before, but never at a grand, outdoor venue.
In addition to his DJ and production skills, Busy P is also talented at engaging and inciting the crowd.
Justice
Popular Electro-Rock duo Justice played a legendary set at Volar back in 2007 along with Busy P. Even with just one member in attendance at Blohk Party, you can expect it to be an exciting show.
Pharrell Williams
Pharrell is likewise a masterful live performer. His previous show in Hong Kong, the Bape Heads concert with Kanye West, brought fans on stage and whipped the crowd into a frenzy.
Breakbot
Breakbot was just in Hong Kong a few months ago and played a solid DJ set at Socialito.
LMF & 24 HERBS
Also on board are Hong Kong favorites L.M.F. and 24 HERBS, who don’t need much of introduction to readers of this site.
Blohk Party tickets can be purchased through HK Ticketing.
