Counterflows Festival returns in April for four days of live music from some of the most interesting artists working on the fringes today!

Counterflows

About Counterflows

Scotland’s longest running festival of experimental and marginal music is back. Its gives us great pleasure to reveal the full artist line-up, welcoming a carefully threaded-together cast of local and international artists.

Over the 4 days of the festival there will be live performances, club nights, film screenings, a small publishers fair and discussions. Nae headliners, nae scheduling clashes, nae nonsense. We’re a festival about bringing people together, listening together, dancing together, and opening up possibilities.

This year we’re making a few small changes: All the evening events will take place at the Woodside Halls, a venue we felt was cosy, great sounding and the right sort of vibe for what we do. The festival will still explore different spaces of Glasgow, with daytime programmes, hang-outs and clubs dotted around carefully selected venues in the City Centre and West End. We’ll be keeping it intimate, sensitively laid-out and sounding great, with ample breaks so you can chill out and get food.
