Musicians to Take Centre Stage at Xscape with Launch of a ‘Busk Stop'

This October, musicians can take centre stage at Xscape Yorkshire as the leisure destination launches a ‘Busk Stop’ – allowing buskers to perform inside the centre at a dedicated busking area for the very first time.

Throughout the school half-term, from Saturday 26th October to Sunday 3rd November, Xscape will be shining a spotlight on the region’s artists and performers, where they will be given the chance to perform to a walk-by audience at a dedicated busking area.

Xscape’s ‘Busk Stop’ has been specially created for local singers and musicians to perform live at the centre, bringing a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere to visitors. Yorkshire busker and TikTok star Liv Harland will launch the ‘Busk Stop’ with the first performance on Saturday 26th October at 1pm – 2pm.

The ‘Busk Stop’ will serve as a centrepiece for aspiring artists to engage with visitors, entertain and showcase their talent during the October half-term holidays. Performances will take place daily from 26th October to 3rd November, 1pm – 5pm, with a rotation schedule of performances to ensure fresh entertainment for visitors.

The centre is calling for artists across the region to register to perform at its ‘Busk Stop’ free of charge. Performers will be able to reserve hour slots throughout the half term holidays and is available to both seasoned performers and up-and-coming artists. Musicians interested in performing at the ‘Busk Stop’ at Xscape Yorkshire can register their interest via Xscape’s website: xscapeyorkshire.co.uk/busk-stop.
