Busk Until Dusk

Busk Until Dusk

Free Entry

Welcome back to Busk Until Dusk, the beautifully chaotic heartbeat of the Ramsgate Festival of Sound, where the town's pubs and independent venues come alive with an afternoon of live music.

On Saturday 12th September, Busk Until Dusk will once again bring music into the heart of Ramsgate. From 12 noon until 6pm, more than twenty bands and solo artists will perform across some of the town's best-loved venues, including The Honeysuckle Inn, The Red Lion, The Queen Charlotte and The Fermentorium.

Following a fantastic response to our Busk Until Dusk Open Call, you can expect an eclectic soundtrack spanning foot-stomping punk, blistering percussion, cinematic indie folk and spellbinding roots music, with something to surprise around every corner.

Entry to every venue is completely free. Grab a drink, wander Ramsgate's historic streets, discover new artists and let the music lead the way!

The full lineup for the return of Teenage Kicks, our emerging artists stage proudly supported by the Behind the Bass mentorship programme, will be announced soon.
