"ImagineLand" features both daytime and evening programmes. "Go Beyond Concert", "Pop Unboxed" outdoor installation and "Funarts Corner" are available during the day, whereas film programme "Movie Under the Stars" will be held at night.
The "Go Beyond Concert" will showcase two stages, namely the Forest Stage and Seed Stage. The curator of the Forest Stage, music veteran Dr Wong Chi-chong, will also take up the role of host and DJ, alongside 11 musicians and artists over two days. Making its debut this year is the Cantopop Party, evoking collective memories through timeless classic melodies across generations. The local lineup includes powerhouse female vocalists Vincy Chan, Janees Wong and Feanna Wong; rising singers Arvin Tsang, Jacky Fan and Gordon Flanders; bands Goodnight Lillie and ROVER; and DJ DEANZ. They will be joined by PO8, a rap poet from the Chinese Mainland,and Thai singer New Napassorn, making her Hong Kong debut - bringing together diverse sounds from different regions for a free-spirited fusion along the Victoria Harbour waterfront. Meanwhile, the Seed Stage will present a series of street-style performances by young musicians, complemented by themed sharing sessions, offering a pop music party from multiple perspectives.
The "Pop Unboxed" outdoor installation is co-curated by the LCSD and the Hong Kong Design Institute, a member of the Vocational Training Council Group. The exhibition features four themed showcases, including a newly created "Ten Brothers" art toy intellectual property inspired by the folktale; a film-themed photo spot recreating Hong Kong's neon-style street scenes; a window display that brings fantasy characters to life through surreal fashion; and a music showcase that juxtaposes classic vinyl records with the works of a virtual singer, highlighting the development of a new generation of virtual music. Each showcase is a meticulously designed "blind box", inviting audiences to discover surprises through exploration. The exhibition will remain on display at the HKCC Piazza until June 30.
The "Funarts Corner" will offer creative booths featuring caricature, digital tattoos, make-up and cheongsam styling experience photoshoots, offering various ways to explore and experience Hong Kong pop culture while adding to the carnival atmosphere.
"Movie Under the Stars" will be staged at 8pm on April 25 and 26, screening local fantasy-romance films "Last Song for You" (2024) and "Fly Me to Polaris" (1999) respectively. Audiences are welcome to bring their own mats to enjoy a unique outdoor movie-watching experience on the Salisbury Garden lawn.
