The organisers say the line-up of musicians come from 21 countries including Malaysia. They say festival-goers will enjoy more personal and interactive experiences than from concerts by big-name pop and rock stars. The ad for the event also claims buskers wear their hearts on their sleeves with personal lyrics and sincere acoustic performances.
The venue for the Penang International Buskers Festival 2018 is Lebuh Pantai in George Town. Pantai is also known as Beach Road and is home to some of both George Town and Penang’s oldest buildings. The music runs between 17:00 and 23:00 on the 20 and 21 January.
