Cantopop's biggest night of the early summer is back. The KKBOX Hong Kong Music Awards return for their eighth edition — themed Music Reborn — at AsiaWorld-Arena on 28 June 2026, gathering the year's most-streamed local stars under one roof for a live awards-and-performance spectacular.
What are the KKBOX Hong Kong Music Awards?
The KKBOX Hong Kong Music Awards (KKBOX 香港風雲榜) are an annual showcase from the streaming platform KKBOX, ranking and celebrating the year's standout Cantopop and Mandopop songs and artists. Unlike a closed-door ceremony, it plays out as a full live concert, so fans in the room get performances as well as prizes.
This year's edition, presented by music platform Katch with KKBOX, carries the theme Music Reborn and is hosted by singer-actor Louis Cheung (張繼聰). For the wider gig calendar, see our guide to the best concerts in Hong Kong 2026.
When and where is it?
The show takes place on Sunday 28 June 2026 at AsiaWorld-Arena (Hall 1), the big indoor arena at AsiaWorld-Expo next to the airport. The main event starts at 7pm, with a warm-up DJ set from around 6:15pm — worth arriving for if you want the full atmosphere.

Who's performing?
The first-wave line-up is heavy on Cantopop's biggest names. Four MIRROR members lead it — Keung To (姜濤), Anson Lo (盧瀚霆), Edan Lui (呂爵安) and Jer Lau (柳應廷) — a near-guaranteed draw for the city's most devoted fan armies.
They're joined by a broad spread of acts including Janice Vidal (衛蘭), Stephy Tang (鄧麗欣), moon tang, Taiwan's Waa Wei (魏如萱), Andy Hui (許志安) and hip-hop crew 24Herbs (廿四味), with more names still to be announced. The organiser bills roughly 18 acts in the first wave, so check the official page for the full, final line-up. For another Cantopop night out, see our guide to Ian Chan's Growth Live.
Tickets and what they include
Four price tiers, with a streaming sweetener. Tickets are HK$1,280, HK$1,080, HK$880 and HK$680, and each ticket combination also bundles 60 days of KKBOX music service — a neat touch for a streaming-platform awards show. Tickets are sold through KKTIX.
Priority access has run through Cathay, Katch and KKBOX memberships, so general availability can be tight; register early and buy only through official channels. If you're lining up a summer of shows, our ALPHA DRIVE ONE fan-con guide covers another big AsiaWorld-Arena night in July.

Getting to AsiaWorld-Arena
The easiest way out is the MTR Airport Express to AsiaWorld-Expo Station, the line's western terminus, with the station sitting inside the venue. From Hong Kong Station in Central it's roughly 28 minutes, via Kowloon and the airport.
Because the arena is next to Hong Kong International Airport on Lantau, build in a buffer and plan your trip home in advance, as trains fill fast after a big show. The venue runs airport-style bag checks, so travel light. Making a night of it? Our Hong Kong nightlife guide has where to head afterwards.
