South Korean alternative music collective Balming Tiger is coming back to Hong Kong for their first headline performance. On July 14, the group will bring their rap- and metal-tinged exuberance to the Kitty Woo Stadium for one night only.
Founded in 2018, Balming Tiger comprises of nine rotating vocalists, writers, artists, producers, and cinematographers who all come together to create a one-of-a-kind sound that’s very different to the well-polished gleam of K-pop. It’s really not easy to pigeonhole their music into any one genre, but concertgoers can expect an energetic mix of hip-hop, rap, electro, R&B, synth, and K-pop.
As organiser Clockenflap puts it, the group is ‘a creative movement as much as a music act [that] fuses music, art, film, and culture into a mind-bending experience’. Balming Tiger will play in Ulaanbaatar first, followed by Hong Kong, before moving to cities like Taipei, Niigata, and London. If you missed their electric performance at Clockenflap 2023, then mark your calendars for the ticket drop at noon on April 17. Kitty Woo is not a big venue so they’re bound to sell out quickly!
