Asia+ Festival 2026 Opening Programme: TRI-ART!ON Concert by Carl Wong × Jun Kung & Friends ft. Uuhai (Mongolia), KARDI (Korea) & KIKI (Thailand)

Asia+ Festival 2026 opens with a bang. Three of Asia’s most distinctive sounds — the steppes, the sea and the city — collide on one stage, reinterpreting contemporary pop music in ways beyond imagination. Hosting the charge is a stellar line-up of local pop artists: award-winning producer Carl Wong, drummer of Hong Kong’s leading pop stars Jun Kung, sought-after guitarist Jason Kui, R.O.O.T vocalist Jan Curious, multi-instrumentalist Danny Yau and keyboardist/singer-songwriter Frankie Yip, ready to spark moments that no setlist can predict. Their guests come from three corners of Asia: Mongolian metal sensation Uuhai make their Hong Kong debut after conquering European stages, unleashing the horsehead fiddle against searing rock riffs; Korea’s KARDI fuse female-vocal pop-rock with the resonance of the geomungo — a traditional six string zither, delivering explosive power built for packed arenas. Thailand’s KIKI brings groovy indie-pop soaked in funky electronic beats, leaving a tropical haze. Blurring traditions and the new, all the bands give pop music a thrilling twist!
