Also returning is Tam Jai International as an official partner! As Hong Kong’s No. 1 Noodles*, the international brand TamJai Mixian, together with TamJai Yunnan Mixian and TamJai SamGor Mixian are back on site after proving hugely popular with festivalgoers last year. Not only did they rank among the fan favourites on site, but for many festivalgoers, slurping a bowl of hot and spicy rice noodles at a homegrown international festival, while taking in Clockenflap's spectacular harbour backdrop, was an unforgettable experience. There are more surprises in store for 2026, too. 7-Eleven will bring its own festival convenience store to the site, offering everything from chilled drinks and iconic Slurpees to local street food to keep festivalgoers fuelled throughout the weekend. Official beverage partner Carlsberg will keep the crowd refreshed with ice-cold pours and crisp refreshments across all music stages.
