Three Weeks until the Auckland International Buskers Festival!

This Auckland Anniversary Weekend from Friday 27 – Monday 30 January the Viaduct Harbour and CBD Waterfront will be taken over by eight professional busking acts from around the globe for the annual Auckland International Buskers Festival.
A dazzling array of skills, combined with comedy and charming showmanship, makes these outdoor shows a hit for all ages.
The acts will be available for interviews from Thursday 26 January.

Quatuor Stomp (CAN)
A four-man comedy circus troupe from Canada, whose show brings an eclectic range of skills together from acrobatics to playing with fire!
Alakazam “The Human Knot” (AUS/USA)
This jaw-dropping contortionist has performed in over 36 countries with his fast-paced, humorous, and often risky performances.
Jamey Mossengren (USA)
Jamey’s sky-high balancing skills have made him a 7-time world champion unicyclist! Honed over 26 years, his incredible talents make for a very exciting live show.
Kamikaze Fireflies (USA)

Bikerina (Germany)
Trick cyclist Ina Bikerina is a unicycle champion, BMXer and acrobatic performer who currently holds several Australian unicycle records - all without losing her German ‘humour’.
