Counterflows 2026
9-12 April

Scotland’s longest running festival of experimental and marginal music is back. Its gives us great pleasure to reveal the full artist line-up, welcoming a carefully threaded-together cast of local and international artists.

The full festival passes are now sold out, but some individual event passes will become available in February along with the detailed day-by-day programme.

Over the 4 days of the festival there will be live performances, club nights, film screenings, a small publishers fair and discussions. Nae headliners, nae scheduling clashes, nae nonsense. We’re a festival about bringing people together, listening together, dancing together, and opening up possibilities.

This year we’re making a few small changes: All the evening events will take place at the Woodside Halls, a venue we felt was cosy, great sounding and the right sort of vibe for what we do. The festival will still explore different spaces of Glasgow, with daytime programmes, hang-outs and clubs dotted around carefully selected venues in the City Centre and West End. We’ll be keeping it intimate, sensitively laid-out and sounding great, with ample breaks so you can chill out and get food.
