HONK!
The Peace Artistes
A weekend of live music with Bradford's beloved street band
A three-day street musical extravaganza featuring community bands from around the UK and beyond.
About this project
HONK! Bradford will bring 15 street bands from the UK, Spain, Germany, France and the US to play across the district – in community centres, parks, high streets and the city centre.
300+ musicians playing with a passion that’s as infectious as it is inspiring, blending genres from bhangra to Balkan, jazz to hip hop.
Organised by Bradford’s very own street band – The Peace Artistes – HONK! will celebrate cultural diversity with school and community involvement and a brand new pick-up band for local musicians. Join us for a weekend of cultural celebration, echoing the global movement of HONK!, uniting communities through music and activism.
