BUSKERS

We love to encourage busking at the Nannup Music Festival. So many of our favourite acts have started their musical journey busking! For those who didn’t get selected or just didn’t feel ready to apply, perhaps busking is for you. Come along and show us who you are and what you offer and you may win a spot at Nannup Music Festival 2026!

WHERE YOU CAN BUSK

• We have a Busking Blackboard stage set up at the main Ticket Office area where you can chalk your name in for a short segment each day.
• The main businesses with dedicated busking sites are the Blackwood Café and Nanna’s Pantry. Please see them, select a time and share your magic.   Remember that out of courtesy, if you have a following, ask that they do not fill all the seats for paying customers at these premises without purchasing a drink or something while there. 
• You can busk on the main street of Nannup but please be sure not to impinge on foot traffic or business access.  Check with local businesses before you set up.
• Young buskers and children are welcome to busk along our festival street (Brockman St). We love seeing what the kids have to share with us!.
• Children may also wish for a stage spot at Goorbillyup. ‘The Young Ones’ happens at 9:30am on Saturday and Sunday mornings – please see Crew at stage for a spot.

RULES

Our rules are few and gentle: 

• Please register as a busker at the Ticket Office before you begin.
• No amplification allowed by buskers – so as not to impinge on programmed venues and artists.
• Please be mindful of others who may wish to busk and do not stay too long in one location. (20 minutes at each location- rotating welcome).

If you have a go and love it, why not apply for next year’s festival?
