A Platform for Performance

Glasgow Music Festival is an annual festival of music, speech, drama and dance first held in 1911. Each year around 7,000 performers take part in the festival which takes place in March. The next Festival will run from 14 March until 21 March 2020.

There are events for groups of almost any size and description, in addition to an extensive programme for solo performance. Performers have the opportunity to develop their skills through receiving advice and encouragement from a team of experienced professional adjudicators.

Coronavirus: Update for Festival participants and attendees

A spokesperson for Glasgow Life said: “Glasgow Life continues to observe and follow Scottish Government and NHS advice.  We are aware of the updated guidance around mass events of 500 people or more, indoors and outdoors, and will follow it.  We will be contacting everyone affected as soon as possible.”

 

In view of this statement, we are unable to continue to stage Glasgow Music Festival this year. We have worked hard to make Festival performance opportunities available for as long as possible for everyone in a position to attend.

 

We thank everyone in our Festival Community for your support and understanding as we must, in addition to adhering to Government advice, prioritise the health and wellbeing of all participants, stewards, and supporters.

 

Please keep an eye on our website for details of future events.
