About Surge Festival

Listed Under Theatre Events / Dance Events / Days Out Events / Family and Kids Events / Music Events / Outdoor Events / Summer Holiday Events

Expect mushrooms springing up in a graveyard, dangerous sheep rampaging through the streets, and innovative AI techniques for you to experiment with. You might even have the chance to become the show, if you wish.

This year's festival features new professional work from all four home nations and cutting-edge Scottish premieres of international performances, as well as work from communities across Scotland.

SURGE is also introducing a new venue this year: Ramshorn Graveyard. Here, you can enjoy two more intimate performances in a quiet, secluded spot just a stone's throw from the bustling main festival site in Merchant City.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
