Counterflows 2022

General Information

Counterflows Festival 2022 emerges from the darkness of the last couple of years, refreshed and excited by the idea of live music. We are ready to gather and be stimulated by ideas; to engage with an elixir of marginal and experimental sounds from Scotland and around the world. Join us for a programme of live music, discussions, club nights and hanging out, spread across 4 days in some of Glasgow’s most interesting venues.

Counterflows Festival 2022 takes place across various venues in Glasgow. For this year we are aiming to keep the venues fairly central, or a short walking distance from the city centre.

Each venue will be a short walking distance from each other. We’ve scheduled the festival to ensure there’s no programming clashes, and plenty of time to move from one space to another. We also take account of breaks for you to grab some food.
