Now in its third year, the contemporary music festival returns with screenings, workshops, installations, talks and live performances. Featuring a rare solo set by Oren Ambarchi, legendary skronk pioneers Smegma (now in their 40th year), Endless Boogie, Mark Fell (of electronic duo snd), Basic House (aka Stephen Bishop, head honcho of the superb Opal Tapes record label), Tokyo noise quintet ENDON (in their first ever show outside of Japan), the sublime Jessika Kenney & Eyvind Kang, Jar Moff, DIY noise makers Hacker Farm, Astral Social Club, The Pheromoans, cartoonist Malcy Duff, filmmaker Hugh Metcalfe (performing a live soundtrack to a collection of his films), Mind Over Mirrors, Drummer's Corpse, Control Unit, Tokyo noise fiend Blackphone666, Dawson-Davies:Hen Ogledd and many more artists.
The festival features a full film programme, talks hosted by Derek Walmsley of The Wire, an after-party (with Ruf Dug), lots of mouth-wateringly rare merch, plus exhibitions and installations by Karen Constance, Malcy Duff, Richard Dawson and Mark Fell.
Tickets are available in the form of weekend passes (£45) and are available from wegottickets.com and tuskmusic.co.uk. An enhanced version of the weekend pass is also available for an extra £10, which entitles you to a copy of the first TUSK Festival release, a vinyl LP of The Unit Ama’s set from last year.
