Womad

Glasgow is set to host an international music, arts and dance festival celebrating cultural expression from around the globe.

The first-ever WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance) in Scotland will bring global artists to Kelvingrove Park on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 July 2026.

WOMAD Glasgow promises an eclectic line-up of high-profile and emerging artists performing a vast range of global music including pop, dance, folk, jazz, hip-hop and beyond across three stages.

Festivalgoers can also look forward to free workshops led by musicians and dancers from around the world, try exotic foods cooked by the artists and learn about new cultures through a series of insightful talks.

WOMAD will be brought to Glasgow by WOMAD International in partnership with Glasgow Life – the charity which delivers culture, events and active living in Glasgow – and Celtic Connections, Glasgow’s annual folk, roots and world music festival which will help to programme the event.
