Glasgow Jazz Festival

Scotland's largest city-centre jazz celebration, held each June across Glasgow with concerts, late-night sessions and free events.

City: Glasgow
Where: Glasgow, Scotland
When: Mid-June
Since: 1987

Founded in 1987 and also known as the Glasgow International Jazz Festival, the event quickly attracted some of the biggest names in jazz history, from Sarah Vaughan to Miles Davis. It stages performances across a range of Glasgow venues alongside workshops and special one-off collaborations.

Combining ticketed headline concerts with free outdoor programming, the festival is a fixture of the Scottish summer and a showcase for both international stars and the strong home-grown Scottish jazz scene.
