Tusk Festival

to

TUSK Festival returns to Newcastle upon Tyne this October with  another infernal line-up of unclassifiable international music. 

Across 3  days in the city’s best-loved underground music venue, TUSK Festival  again delivers a lethal musical cocktail, featuring countless coups and  firsts and including the return of Keiji Haino’s legendary Fushitsusha,  classic Virginian drone voyagers Pelt, the Dead C’s Michael Morley in  his solo Gate guise, the delirious alt-techno of Hieroglyphic Being,  Graham Lambkin & Jason Lescalleet divining magic in the mundane,  the organic scree of Hild Sofie Taord and crunched dub and sweat  from NHK'Koyxe.
