Events in Glasgow From 25th May – 31st May 2026

Home · Events in Glasgow This Week

This week in Glasgow, a diverse range of events unfolds across the city. Live music takes centre stage, with performances by established acts and emerging artists finding venues throughout the week. You can find shows in the West End, or in more intimate spaces around Finnieston. For electronic sounds, several nights are dedicated to club culture, with DJ sets in venues near Sauchiehall Street.

Beyond music, Glasgow’s theatrical scene presents a stage adaptation of a classic novel at the Theatre Royal Glasgow, and a unique improv marathon promises spontaneous entertainment at The Old Hairdresser's. Comedy performances are also scheduled, adding to the range of options. With the Bank Holiday weekend approaching, expect themed parties and special evenings, particularly around areas like Merchant City.

You can explore a full spectrum of entertainment, from large-scale events to smaller, more personal performances. The city’s strong music scene extends beyond established venues; look for pop-up performances and events along the River Clyde and the canals. Plan your route carefully, use the Glasgow Subway (‘the Clockwork Orange’) or the Clyde Fastlink where possible. Check event listings below for times and venues, and make the most of your time in the city. You can find details on all events in the listings below.
