We’re delighted to announce Glasgow as the newest member of the WOMAD family!!

Friday 3rd & Saturday 4th July, 2026
Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow

A message from WOMAD founder, Peter Gabriel:
‘It’s brilliant to see the first Scottish WOMAD and thanks to Glasgow Life for giving us this wonderful opportunity. The city is one of the first UNESCO cities of music and it’s always had a warm and welcoming attitude to the people and cultures of the world.
At a time when hatred is being deliberately whipped up and when differences are being exploited for political gain, it’s increasingly important to have a meeting place which goes in the other direction; where our differences are celebrated, enjoyed and bring us together.’
