Franz Ferdinand (UK)
Sunday, 7 December 2025
The band that kickstarted a vibrant new era of British indie fever in 2004 with their eponymously titled, Mercury Prize-winning debut album, veteran Scottish art-rockers Franz Ferdinand are still a band at the very top of their game. From angular cult classics like ‘Michael’ and ‘Do You Want To’ to swaggering anthems like ‘This Fire’ and ‘Take Me Out’, Alex Kapranos and Co. have a back catalogue that’s guaranteed to make music fans move. Fresh from releasing their sixth studio album, ‘The Human Fear’, Franz Ferdinand play Hong Kong for the first time since 2018, returning to the Clockenflap stage for the first time since 2013. Don’t miss this one!
闊別七年，蘇格蘭 dance punk 獨立大團 Franz Ferdinand 終於再嚟香港出騷喇！2004年憑藉首張同名大碟橫空出世，首首都係唔捨得飛歌咁好聽，尤其係廿年後依然能夠於Spotify上累積十億點播嘅〈Take Me Out〉、以及〈This Fire〉、〈The Dark Of The Matinée〉等洗腦名曲，catchy到聽一次已經上癮。
自第二張大碟《You Could Have It So Much Better》後FF維持幾年一碟嘅穩定產量，除咗招牌英倫dance punk風格外，亦融入迷幻搖滾、Afrobeat、dub reggae等強調節奏嘅曲式，唔覺唔覺今年就推出第七張專輯《The Human Fear》，高能量輸出有增無減，獨特嘅合成器運用，更帶出一種別緻嘅復古情懷，聽聽首〈Night Or Day〉就知。
Franz Ferdinand 嘅作品出名跳得，現場力度更加係迫人跳到腳軟都唔會收手，我哋到依家都仲記得FF上次為Clockenflap壓軸最後嘅四人合鼓環節氣氛有幾癲！十二年後嘅12月，Franz Ferdinand 將會再度上台挑戰大家體力，各位買完飛開始熱身就啱哂！
