Celtic Connections 2026
Jumping and a jigging to traditional music is one way to ward off those winter blues and Glasgow has been sunny with smiles for the last 33 years, thanks to Celtic Connections. Launched in 1994 as a single venue, 15-night event in a bid to fill the city’s Royal Concert Hall, it has grown into Europe’s premier folk, roots and world music festival, featuring more than 1,200 artists across 30 venues.
