The third edition of Big City, an all day festival curated by Glasgow’s own Mogwai, will feature performances from label mates, friends and peers of the band across two stages. Returning to the site of the 2024 event, there will also be a full selection of licenced bars and food trucks.
“We are incredibly proud to bring the big city festival back to Glasgow for a third year. There are some incredible bands playing this year and we look forward to presenting this brilliant lineup.” - Stuart Braithwaite
In addition, Big City welcomes the influential English space rock band Spiritualized. Their music blends psychedelic rock, gospel, and orchestral elements into expansive, emotional soundscapes.
More artists to be announced in the coming weeks.
