BUSKING
We welcome and appreciate Buskers at 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.
Where you can busk
We would love to see you performing along our streets and in the dedicated busking locations, and look forward to you showing us who you are and what you offer.
Buskers In The Depot
We will have our regular blackboard stage set up at the Depot near our Ticket Office, where you can chalk your name in for a short segment each day. A self-managed sound system is available for use.
Friday: 5:00pm – 8:00pm
Saturday: 9:00am – 8:00pm
Sunday: 9:00am – 8:00pm
Buskers in the Court
We will also have a small busking stage in the main food court within the ticketed area. This is our ‘Buskers in the Court stage’, and again you will be able to chalk your name on a blackboard for a time slot each day. You are welcome to bring your own mic and stand and use the busker cube (PA).
Local Businesses
The main businesses with dedicated busking sites are the Blackwood Café and Nannas Pantry. Please see them, select a time and share your magic. Remember courtesy, if you have a following, ask that they do not fill all the seats for paying customers at these premises unless purchasing a drink or something while there.
Main Street (Warren Rd)
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.
Festival Street (Brockman St)
Young buskers and children are welcome to busk along our festival street.We love seeing what the kids perform and share with us!
Busking 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).
While we don’t have a formal Busking Competition for 2026-2027, we may choose one Busker to offer a place on next year’s Nannup Music festival program!
