We don’t know about you, but the crew at Coconuts HK is still running on that post-Clockenflap high today.

Highlights included David Byrne’s wildly fun and inventive set, and Jarvis Cocker asking the audience what they were most afraid of (to which one person responded “the Chinese government“).

Here’s a photo gallery featuring some of our favorite moments from the festival — we hope it’ll be a nice little trip down memory lane for our fellow festival-goers. Or maybe a hard hit of FOMO for the rest of you who didn’t go.
