Counterflows 2026
9-12 April

Scotland’s longest running festival of experimental and marginal music is back. Full Festival passes are now on sale in standard, solidarity and pay what you want tiers.

The festival line-up will be announced in early January. Expect a carefully webbed-together selection of local and international artists, with 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.

See you all next April.
