A Sunday night out by the runways
Joji brings the SOLARIS Tour to Hong Kong on November 29, 2026. The show is at Runway 11, a hall inside AsiaWorld-Expo, on reclaimed land at Chek Lap Kok. That puts it beside Hong Kong International Airport, a long way from the neon of Kowloon.
The date is a Sunday, so most of the crowd has work or school on Monday. That shapes the night. Expect a rush for the trains when the lights come up, and plan your route home before you set off.
Joji’s catalogue runs from the slow-burn melancholy of “Slow Dancing in the Dark” to “Glimpse of Us”, the piano ballad that made him a household name. A crowd singing those choruses back at him is a big part of why people go.
What Runway 11 is like inside
Runway 11 is a flat-floor exhibition hall that gets turned into a concert space. It is not a tiered arena. There is no bowl of fixed seats rising around the stage, so how much you see depends on how the promoter lays out the floor.
Check your ticket category before you arrive. It shows if you are in a standing zone or have an allocated seat. In a standing zone, arriving early decides how close you get, because the floor has no rake and the people in front of you are at the same level.
Riding the Airport Express out
The easiest way there is the MTR Airport Express. AsiaWorld-Expo station is the line’s terminus, one stop past Airport station, and it opens straight onto the venue. From Hong Kong Station in Central the ride takes about half an hour. Kowloon and Tsing Yi stations are on the same line.
Other options:
- Tung Chung line plus bus or taxi: a cheaper rail route. Change at Tung Chung for the short road trip to the venue.
- Taxi from the city: takes you over the Tsing Ma Bridge and the North Lantau Highway. Expect a long queue at the rank after the show.
- Staying nearby: Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott sits next to the venue, and Regal Airport Hotel is linked to the airport terminal.
Late November is usually dry and mild in Hong Kong. A light layer is enough for the walk from the station, and the hall is air-conditioned.
Getting through the doors at AsiaWorld-Expo
How smoothly your night goes comes down to a few local habits.
- Tap an Octopus card or a contactless bank card on the Airport Express gates. You won’t queue at ticket machines, which jam badly after the show.
- Have your e-ticket downloaded before you leave the city. Phone signal can drop when thousands of people sit in one hall.
- Check the house rules on bags and cameras on the official event page. Large bags and professional camera gear are often refused at Hong Kong concert venues, and AsiaWorld-Expo is a long way from anywhere to leave them.
- Queue in line. Hong Kong crowds stand in orderly single file for trains, taxis and merchandise, and staff expect you to follow the barriers.
For the trip home, check the last Airport Express departure from AsiaWorld-Expo station on the MTR website before the show. On a Sunday night, most of the hall will be aiming for the same few trains.
Before and after: Tung Chung and the airport
If you get out to Lantau early, you can spend the afternoon nearby. Citygate Outlets in Tung Chung is one Tung Chung line stop or a short ride from the venue. It has food courts and restaurants that are much easier to get into than anything at the venue on show night.
From Tung Chung, the Ngong Ping 360 cable car climbs to the Tian Tan Buddha. Plan for at least half a day and return in time for doors. The airport’s SkyCity area and the 11 SKIES complex also have dining near the venue.
If you are flying out on Monday, you are already next to the terminal. Plenty of visiting fans plan around this, booking a morning flight and an airport hotel.
