What's On in Glasgow

I Am A Raver Under 16s — An absolute gem of an idea — a proper rave experience designed entirely for the under-16s crowd, kicking off at 3:00pm at Saint Judes After Dark. Young music lovers get to feel the full buzz of a club atmosphere in a safe, dedicated space, which means parents can breathe easy while their kids discover the thrill of a dancefloor for the very first time. Priced at £10–£25, this is one of the most thoughtful and genuinely exciting things happening in the city today.

Free Day Rave Wonderful Days — A free afternoon rave at Vibes Glasgow from 3:00pm — yes, completely free, and yes, it is exactly as joyful as it sounds. Check the website for any entry details, but the promise of a daytime dancefloor without spending a penny is the kind of offer that deserves to be grabbed with both hands. Roll up, lose yourself in the music, and remember why Glasgow is one of the great rave cities in the world.

The Hush Club - Glasgow's Top Secret Magic Experience — Tucked inside the atmospheric Babbity Bowster from 7:30pm, this is not your average Saturday night out — it is a top-secret magic experience that promises to genuinely astonish and disorient you in the most delightful way. At £17 a ticket, it is brilliant value for something this different, and the intimate, slightly mysterious setting of Babbity Bowster makes every trick feel utterly personal. Go in knowing nothing, and come out with stories you will be telling for months.

Spiders On Mars Glasgow's Tribute to David Bowie — The Ferry on the Clyde is the perfect setting for a night dedicated to the Starman himself, with Spiders On Mars bringing the glam, the drama, and the unforgettable songbook of David Bowie to life from 8:30pm. This is the kind of tribute act that reminds you why live music exists — expect Heroes, Ziggy Stardust, and a room full of people who know every single word. Tickets are £16–£27 and frankly that feels like a bargain for a night this theatrical.

Melting Pot x Let's Go Back To The 80's — Drygate — one of Glasgow's most beloved venues — gets a full-on eighties makeover from 5:00pm as Melting Pot teams up with Let's Go Back To The 80s for what promises to be a gloriously synth-soaked early evening. At just £10–£12, this is an accessible, brilliantly nostalgic option that suits anyone from students to parents who actually lived through the decade the first time round. Power ballads, big hair energy, and a craft beer in hand — what more could you want?

CATALYST: Denis Dekay - Glasgow — When the rest of the city is winding down, The Classic Grand is just getting started — Denis Dekay heads up this late-night techno and electronic session from 11:00pm as part of the CATALYST series. For just £5–£11, you are buying yourself a front-row seat to the kind of serious, immersive club experience that Glasgow has built its global reputation on. If you want to see the night through to its natural, euphoric conclusion, this is where you belong.
