Step back to 2008 and relive the colour, chaos, and creativity of the Pandemonium Buskers Festival in Gisborne, New Zealand — a wild celebration of street performance, global talent, and East Coast energy!

Held in the heart of Gisborne, this festival brought together a diverse cast of street performers from around the world. From jaw-dropping acrobatics to hilarious comedy acts, fire jugglers, living statues, and impromptu music shows — the streets came alive with talent, laughter, and surprise.

🎤 What is Busking?
Busking (or street performing) is the art of entertaining in public spaces — often for gratuities like coins, snacks, or applause. It's a form of raw, unfiltered performance practiced around the globe by people of all ages and backgrounds.
