Grammy-winning jazz-pop sensation Laufey is coming back to Hong Kong this May

Calling all Laufey fans in Hong Kong – this is not a drill. We repeat, this is not a drill – the Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter who has captured hearts with her soulful jazz-pop melodies and emotionally resonant songwriting is coming back to Hong Kong for another concert this year! Mark your calendars for May 12 at AsiaWorld-Arena for Laufey’s upcoming Hong Kong show, which will also mark the official start of the Asia leg of her ‘A Matter of Time’ tour.

Laufey’s latest album and third full-length studio LP, A Matter of Time, was released in August 2025, and the ethereal songstress has since been touring extensively across North America and Europe to promote her dreamy new songs to sold-out stadiums and packed arenas. Laufey was last in Hong Kong in August 2024 for a concert as part of her ‘Bewitched: The Goddess Tour’, so this next show in May will be your chance to either see the talented musician perform again, or be wowed by her artistry for the first time.

Bewitched and A Matter of Time both won the Grammy Award for ‘Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album’ in 2024 and 2026, respectively – a testament to Laufey’s unique ability to captivate audiences with her nostalgic blend of jazz, classical, and modern pop sounds, marking her as one of the most exciting artists of our time. Fans can look forward to Laufey showcasing her multi-instrumentalist skills as she switches seamlessly between piano and guitar and cello; thematic set design and theatrical projections to whisk audiences off to an atmospheric wonderland with Laufey as the musical guide; bittersweet and intimate songs that pluck at heartstrings; and immaculate live renditions of her beloved songs, including ‘From the Start’, ‘Valentine’, ‘Silver Lining’, and more.
