With the strong support from the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, the first-ever “New Year Countdown Concert” is full of new attention-worthy appeals.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) announced that the New Year countdown celebrations will make a physical return this year with an unprecedented outdoor “Hong Kong New Year Countdown Concert” at Art Park of West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) and extended an invitation to the public. To share the city’s vibrant excitement in welcoming the New Year with everyone around the world, the concert will be broadcast on TV and live-streamed online to global audiences.
Mr Dane Cheng, HKTB Executive Director, said, “The HKTB has continued to maintain Hong Kong’s exposure and positive tourism image in the mainland and overseas markets through various promotions and campaigns. Following the launch of the annual ‘Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival’, the HKTB is now incessantly preparing for the physical staging of the ‘Hong Kong New Year Countdown Concert’. We are confident in hosting a world-class countdown concert to show global audiences Hong Kong’s exciting and energetic spirit as we step into the New Year while catering to the needs of public hygiene and anti-pandemic measures.”
With the strong support from the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, the first-ever “New Year Countdown Concert” is full of new attention-worthy appeals. Staging in the WKCD Art Park, the concert offers an outdoor experience that is rarely seen in local performing art scenes. Also, the countdown clock will be displayed on the gigantic façade of the newly opened M+ so that the public can welcome 2022 in unison.
Featuring a star-studded cast, the concert is bound to bring back a much-anticipated countdown event to Hong Kong with young popular stars and music groups, including AGA, Alfred Hui, Gin Lee and MIRROR. The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, the first Asian orchestra to receive the prestigious Gramophone Orchestra of the Year Award in 2019 and Asia’s foremost classical orchestra, will also take part to deliver a high-spirited performance on the New Year’s Eve.
The concert is open to the public free of charge. In view of social distancing measures, the limited number of seats and the overwhelming public response expected, the HKTB will give out 3,000 tickets to 1,500 members of the public in a lucky draw. Each winner will have 2 tickets for inviting
1 companion. The public can enter the lucky draw by registering on the event website (https://nycdconcert.discoverhongkong.com/en/index.html) from 15 to 24 November. Complying with the anti-epidemic measures as required by the Government, both registrants and companions attending the concert must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Hong Kong by 13 December. All participants are required to record their visit with the Leave Home Safe app on admission.
To prevent event ticket speculation, real-name ticketing will be strictly enforced. All participants, including lucky draw registrants and their companions, must enter the lucky draw with their name and ID card number for verification and cross-checking. Winners and their companions are required to present the supporting documents (HKID card and vaccination records) when collecting the tickets in person together and upon admission to the concert. All tickets are non- transferable.
