Event Information
TUSK Festival takes place in Newcastle upon Tyne this October and boasts an unrivalled line-up of unclassifiable international music. Across 3 days and 2 of the city’s best loved venues, TUSK Festival features countless coups and firsts, including the blissful drowning sounds of Grouper, infamous hyp-pop illusionists Hype Williams, Alvarius B (Sun City Girls, Sublime Frequencies), ex-Harry Pussy guitar shredder Bill Orcutt, "most exciting drummer of his generation" Chris Corsano in a rare duo with Ultra Eczema's Dennis Tyfus, dreamy French drone-pop duo Natural Snow Buildings, the transcendent free skronk of The Hunter Gracchus, LAFMS maverick and noise pioneer John Duncan, and the legendary Rhys Chatham performing his composition Guitar Trio with drums, bass and 9 guitarists.
DJ duties during the weekend will be taken care of by our special guests from Jazzfinger and Kraak.
And we have the mysterious BOC, the most legendary power trio never to have played together before!
There’ll also be panel discussions and talks, and an astounding array of hard-to-find records and merchandise available.
All this for £30 or £10 per session (4 sessions) from wegottickets.com
Session tickets also available from The Cluny, RPM and Beat Down in Newcastle.
