Sauchiehall Street Music Day

The Sauchiehall Street: Culture and Heritage District are excited to present a full day of music and culture on Sauchiehall Street.

Music is integral to the social and cultural fabric of Sauchiehall Street. The street’s bars and venues, past and present, have been a legendary melting pot for musicians, artists and creatives - from grassroots gigs to world renowned concert performances, and everything in between.

The Sauchiehall Street Music Day celebrates this legacy with a line-up of local grassroots bands, student performances and residents across two stages.

Outdoor performances are free and unticketed - all welcome!

As part of the day, PCL Presents - the organisers of Cowgate Block Party - are taking over Nice N Sleazy from 4.30 - 10.30pm to celebrate emerging artists and the best new local bands. Get your tickets here.

Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Glasgow UNESCO City of Music.
