Events in Glasgow From 6th July – 12th July 2026

As you plan your week in Glasgow, you’ll find a wide range of events to enjoy. Discover a diverse programme of live music, with performances from indie electronic acts and contemporary R&B to energetic rock tributes and traditional sessions. Many venues across the city host these performances, providing a variety of atmospheres. You’ll find opportunities to experience Glasgow’s lively nightlife, with DJ sets featuring various styles, dance parties, and open mic evenings showcasing emerging local talent. Consider checking out events near the West End, known for its student population and intimate venues, or heading towards the city centre for larger club nights.

Beyond music, you can participate in hands-on workshops exploring techniques like graffiti, signpainting, or DJ skills, offering a chance to learn something new. These workshops often take place in community centres or studio spaces in areas like the Barras and the East End, reflecting the city’s commitment to accessible arts education. For those interested in spoken word or unique cultural experiences, there are poetry readings and choral performances – perhaps at a venue in the historic City Centre.

If you’re looking for family-friendly activities, you'll find inclusive dance sessions and interactive storytelling events designed for younger attendees. Glasgow’s green spaces, like Glasgow Green and Kelvingrove Park, frequently host outdoor family events. For outdoor enthusiasts, there are guided bike rides to explore the city’s developments, alongside sports gatherings. You could take advantage of Glasgow’s cycle lanes, or explore routes along the Forth and Clyde Canal. You can also test your knowledge at a comedy quiz night or enjoy social gatherings focused on food and drink.

Check the listings below for times and venues. Consider utilising the Glasgow Subway, known as the ‘Clockwork Orange’, or the Clyde Fastlink to navigate between events, particularly if travelling within the city centre. Remember to factor in potential congestion on Argyle Street during peak hours if you are driving.
