Celtc Connections – The UK’s premier celebration of celtic music
16 Jan – 2 Feb 2025

The premiere winter festival and international celebration of Celtic music will illuminate stages across Glasgow from Thursday 16 January to Sunday 2 February 2025, eclipsing dark winter nights with a kaleidoscope of internationally-renowned music, exciting new performances and unique showcases.

Creative Director Donald Shaw programmes more than 300 events across multiple genres of music. The festival is renowned for its ability to bring together one-off line-ups for special collaborative shows. The camaraderie between musicians continues late into the night at the Festival Club – home to legendary musical collaborations and spontaneous sessions.

Donald Shaw says: “There are situations that you’ll see where people are playing that you’ll never see again, or if you do, it’s because it worked here first”
