"Music Matters LIVE with H&M brings a much needed celebration of music to Hong Kong. We are extremely excited about the amazing lineup of bands that will rock the city over the course of the weekend. We want this to be a festival where Hong Kongers can watch, listen, dance and have an awesome party," Music Matters' President Jasper Donat said.
"H&M is proud to be supporting Hong Kong's live music scene. We believe great music and trendy fashion are an international language that brings people of all backgrounds together - you can feel and enjoy them no matter which country you're from. So Wear It Loud at Music Matters LIVE with H&M and enjoy the lineup of independent bands from around the world," said Lex Keijser, Country Manager of H&M Greater China.
"Lan Kwai Fong is Hong Kong's hottest, trendiest night spot. It fits that we would host Hong Kong's first free, live music festival of international independent artists. We look forward to welcoming you the party," said Marisa Zeman, on behalf of Lan Kwai Fong Association.
