One of Scotland's most predominant mid-winter music festivals, which attracts the Celtic and World music talent from around the globe, with more than 150 acts performing around the city of Glasgow. Celtic Connections takes place from Thursday 13th until Sunday 30th January 2011.

Line-up

1500 artists will take part in 300 events in 14 venues across Glasgow. The line-up includes Tom Jones, Zakir Hussain, The Waterboys, Justin Townes Earle, Thea Gilmore, Justin Currie, Love and Money, GLau, The Treacherous Orchestra, Paul Brady, Richard Thompson, Seth Lakeman, The Fisherman's Friends, Raul Malo, Teddy Thompson, Jah Wobble, Ani DiFranco, Crooked Still, The Walkmen, Marty Stuart, Sharon Shannon Big Band, Shane MacGowan, Mundy, BMX Bandits, Mavis Staples, Blind Boys of Alabama, Bettye LaVette, The Creole Choir of Cuba, Yasmin Levy, Mama Rosin, Cheikh Lo, OqueStrada, Leo Blanco, Keltic Tales, Taraf De Haidouks, Rachel Sermanni, and more.Grant Lee Buffalo have been forced to withdraw from Celtic Connections.

Tickets

Ticket prices vary from FREE to around £30. To buy tickets once available, click here.

Venues

Most of the festival concerts take place at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall but other venues include the City Halls, the Old Fruitmarket, The Classic Grand, and The National Piping Centre. Many events sell out very quickly and as well as the predictably popular artists, there are also many specialist events, almost too numerous to mention, such as a Hurdy Gurdy night, Accordian Night and Scottish Pipe Band performances.

Highlights

Other highlights to expect include the nightly Celtic Connections Festival Club (for season ticket holders), the free Open Stage Sessions at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall Exhibition Hall, workshops every weekend, talks, films and dance.

More information will be here when available.
