This year International Busking Day moves to Wembley Park – and it’s going to be epic. A mix of outdoor music and family-friendly workshops, everything is FREE.
Performers from across the world will be coming together to celebrate busking and street performance. Kicking off proceedings will be Hall of Fame, Grammy winner and the all-round legend that is Nile Rodgers.
Other musical highlights will be singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt, double platinum guitarist Newton Faulkner and multi-award winning band, Keywest who began life as buskers in Ireland.
Musicians across the world will also be getting involved by uploading a photo or video of their performance to social media on the day with the hashtag, #InternationalBuskingDay which will then be reposted on the huge screen in Arena Square.
Want a break from the music? Get along to one of the workshops in a tented area in Market Sq from yoga to street dance.
And to top it all, it’s going to be another scorcher this weekend.
