Street performers, popping up all over Seoul

You do not need a ticket or a plan to catch this one; it is the kind of show you just walk into. Through the year, 150 artist teams chosen by open call take turns performing in Seoul's main downtown spots and landmarks, so a stage can turn up somewhere you were not expecting one.

There is no fixed programme to follow: just keep an eye out as you walk around central Seoul, since a street performance could be happening nearby at any time. It is part of the city's push to bring culture out into everyday streets, both for passersby and for the performers themselves.

Running from May 1 to November 30, with no fixed schedule since times differ by performance. Admission is free and open to all ages. For locations and lineups, check the official site at seoulbusking.com or the Instagram account @seoulbusking.
