The Big Festival Gala - First Half

Bread & Circus - World Buskers Festival 2020.

Hosted by Reuben Kaye.

The cream of the crop of busking and ticketed shows in the first half of the festival!

It’s the annual festival of big laughs, big talent and even bigger personalities all set in the beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal; because sometimes we like to get super fancy.

Come to the First Half Gala to see the cream of the crop of busking and ticketed shows in the first half of the festival.

If you can't make the First Half or you came away wanting more, then join us for the next round of not-to-be-missed festival highlights at the Second Half!

Don’t miss out on tickets, this is a sell-out festival favourite every year.

Welcome to Bread & Circus 2020!

High-end entertainment, abundant feasts and newfound experiences return to Ōtautahi Christchurch. As balmy days return and Hine Raumati brings her abundant bounty to our region, we look forward to revelling in the sunshine of this summer festival with you.

With a programme jam-packed with 42 shows by 60 artists from all around the world, as well as right here in New Zealand, there’s spectacle for everyone.

Headline show Blanc de Blanc makes its Christchurch debut direct from a triumphant season in Las Vegas. This circus cabaret sensation is from the same mad-genius makers as last years’ Spiegeltent smash-hit, Limbo - an absolute must see. And look out for the Big Festival Galas returning to Isaac Theatre Royal, variety shows bringing you the best of the festival.

Get ready to explore the spectacular!
