Events in Glasgow From 28th September – 4th October 2026

As you plan your week, you'll find a varied selection of events in Glasgow. Music fans are well served, with live performances planned across the city. Expect to hear everything from popular touring acts and indie rock at venues like Barrowland Ballroom, to country sounds and jazz ensembles in the intimate setting of The Blue Dog. Beyond gigs, you’ll also discover immersive entertainment focused on electronic music. Several venues are presenting nights dedicated to genres like techno, trance, hardstyle, and disco. Consider a night at Sub Club, known for its underground electronic music. For something more relaxed, perhaps an open mic session showcasing emerging talent in the West End, or a live pianist in one of the city’s hotel bars. Culturally, you have the chance to engage with performing arts. Theatre Royal hosts a contemporary production this week, while King’s Theatre Glasgow presents a rock opera. If you prefer active pursuits, consider a hike in the Borders region, accessible by train from Queen Street Station, or activity camps for younger family members interested in watersports and bushcraft at Pinkston Watersports Centre. Glasgow’s green spaces, like Pollok Country Park, also offer outdoor opportunities. Social events are also available, with singles' events to meet new people. You might also visit an autumn market at Inveraray Castle, a short drive away, or participate in a festive lunch event. Remember to plan your journey utilising the Glasgow Subway, or Clyde Fastlink bus service, to avoid congestion on Argyle Street. Review the listings below for specific times and venues.
