Glasgow International Jazz Festival

last updated: Fri 26th May 2017

Started in 1987 Glasgow Jazz Festival sees the Scottish city come alive with the sound of jazz, funk, blues, soul and world music. The festival very quickly established itself on the international festival circuit and attracts some of the biggest names in jazz as well as Scotland's homegrown talent, and is acclaimed for its richly diverse programme, which features everything from trad and Dixie to free jazz, northern soul, world music, blues and hip-hop crossovers.
