ComplexCon has returned for its second edition in Hong Kong! If you’re a sneakerhead, culture vulture, or a streetwear fiend, no doubt you’ll already have secured your tickets and are probably prowling through the fair looking for the next big thing to be obsessed about. This three-day festival and exhibition event is essentially a celebration of popular culture, art, fashion, and music, bringing together global artists, creators, and musicians. Here’s everything you need to know before you spend the weekend at ComplexCon.
When and where is ComplexCon Hong Kong happening?
ComplexCon will be held at the AsiaWorld-Expo. The event is split into two sections: the ComplexCon Marketplace and the ComplexLive! concerts. The marketplace will be in Halls 3, 6, 8, and 10, while the concerts will be in Hall 1.
Doors open at 12 noon by invite only and for VIP ticketholders, followed by 2pm for early-entry ticketholders. Public entry to Complex Marketplace will then start at 4pm. The ComplexLive! concerts start at 7.30pm each night, while the marketplace closes at 9pm.

There are multiple ticket types available. $4,988 will get you VIP access to all three days including exclusive merch by Daniel Arsham. Single-day tickets are sorted by tiers, running from $988 to $1,788, differing by priority entry times and zone locations for the concerts. The above ticket types all grant entry to the ComplexLive! concerts at night. There is also a single-day ticket just for the marketplace, available at $388.

What’s there to see and do at ComplexCon?
The heart of ComplexCon is the marketplace, which features over 150 trendsetting brands, artists, and creators. Expect to find limited-edition drops from cutting-edge streetwear, rare sneakers, one-of-a-kind collabs, and more. Some of the merch drops include indie Taiwanese fashion brand GOOPiMADE, footwear from Ohana Hatake led by Takashi Murakami, Sloowday’s collaboration with the popular Labubu’s creator Kasing Lung, silk Adidas Gazelles from Edison Chen’s CLOT brand, a limited-edition line by New Era and local streetwear brand Fat Coffee With featuring their ‘Fat Jai’ mascot, exclusive clothing by Korean hip-hop artist Zico, and more. Some of the merchandise on sale will be exclusive to ComplexCon Hong Kong, so keep an eye out!
There will also be a range of panel talks on topics such as the culture of figurines and collectibles, the fashion world for athletes, cars and pop culture, footwear and sneakers, the usage of Procreate in art and heritage, and many more.
What should I look out for at ComplexCon 2025?
There’s so much to see when you get in that it may be overwhelming. Everyone’s tastes differ, but we’d recommend popping by Club Soul Good to check out their collection of over 1,000 vinyl records. As a Hong Kong brand, these are mainly Cantopop along with some rare vinyls such as pieces autographed by Cantonese music legends Leslie Cheung, Vivian Chow, and Andy Lau, as well as discontinued records by Beyond, Anita Mui, Tony Leung, and loads more. What makes it even better is that these vinyls are being sold for charity.
You can also get inked during the fair by at the If Only tattoo artists’ booth, grab exclusive Silk bubble tea flavours in custom bottles by Billionaire Boys Club and Icecream, and check out Takashi Murakami’s ultra-limited collaboration with Casetify (as well as their giant installation that looks like a ball pit featuring Murakami’s famous colourful characters).
Fashion lovers should hit up the ComplexCon(Versations) event on Saturday at 4.45pm, where fashion designer Yoon Ahn, Taiwanese singer and actor Vanness Wu, along with visual artist and designer Daniel Arsham will be doing a panel on the globalisation of street culture. Yoon will also be launching the first large-format book on her brand Ambush the next day, and if you buy a copy, you can get it signed by Yoon herself.
Is there going to be food at ComplexCon?
No one is going to be starving during the fair! There will be plenty of food available onsite, which Complex is calling their Family Style Food Festival, making its first Asian appearance after launching in cities like New York and Los Angeles. Over 22 brands and restaurants will be creating exclusive food items and merchandise in a tasty blend of cuisine and culture.
Try guilt-free instant noodles at the Lee Kum Kee stall, nostalgic Hong Kong-style street food at Ho Ming Kee, Isaan regional dishes from Chachawan, and wrap up with croffles and brownies in Asian flavours from Thai dessert brand After You Dessert Cafe. Hoegaarden is also collaborating with Hong Kong brand Draft Land to launch a range of fruity cocktails, while Kronenbourg 1664 presents beers with local brand CLOT’s iconic Silk Royale pattern. Fuel up for all that walking around with a black latte from Fukuoka coffee and lifestyle brand No Coffee – and grab a ComplexCon Hong Kong-exclusive mini-Dharma, each handcrafted by artisans from Takasaki city to eliminate bad luck.
Who’s performing at ComplexLive! 2025?
ComplexCon’s concert series is a major draw of the event, and this year’s lineup features a highly anticipated range of global and regional talents. Headliners include American hip-hop and trap producer Metro Boomin in his debut performance in Hong Kong, as well as South Korean hip-hop powerhouse and Block B member Zico. Hit K-pop girl group NJZ – formerly NewJeans – will also be joining the ComplexCon Hong Kong lineup.
Other artist highlights include rapper Quavo from hip-hop group Migos, Hong Kong’s own MC Jin and Jace, South Korean artists B.I and Changmo, Lil Moshpit, rap collective Digi Ghetto from Chengdu, Sik-K, Japanese rapper ¥ellow Bucks, and more. Also look out for DJ Shuzo, a Japanese fashion model who is also known for spinning house, techno, and hip-hop tunes. Even if you’re not going to the ComplexLive! concerts, there will also be DJ sets at the event, so the vibes will still be good.
