What's On in Glasgow

Soul On Sunday Main Indoor Courtyard September Weekend — BAaD is one of Glasgow's most beloved venues and on September Weekend it truly comes into its own, throwing open its doors at 1:00pm for a soul-soaked Sunday session that kicks the afternoon into life. The indoor courtyard setting gives it an intimate, almost communal warmth — the kind of place where strangers become friends over a shared love of a groove. At £18 it is a proper investment in your Sunday happiness, and trust us, you will not regret a penny of it.

An Afternoon with Country Nights — Perched on the banks of the Clyde, The Ferry is a venue with serious atmosphere at the best of times, and at 3:30pm on a September afternoon it becomes the perfect backdrop for some twangy, heartfelt country music. Country Nights has a devoted following in Glasgow and this is a rare chance to catch that rootsy, boot-stomping energy in such a characterful setting. Tickets are just £5–£15, making this one of the best-value feel-good options of the whole weekend.

The Odd Couple (Female Version) Burn The Cork Theatre Co — Burn The Cork Theatre Company bring their fresh, funny take on the classic Neil Simon comedy to The Bungalow Bar in Paisley at 2:00pm, swapping out Oscar and Felix for a brilliantly reimagined female duo and losing absolutely none of the sharp wit in the process. This is warm, accessible theatre at its best — the kind of show that has the whole room laughing out loud and leaving with a glow. At £15 it is a genuinely wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

TW: Khlore, Hektiks, Bulletcharge, Dark Harvest Commandos — If your Sunday leans more toward the loud and ferocious, Nice N Sleazy is the place to be at 7:00pm, with a four-band bill that promises a serious evening of heavy, riff-driven noise. Sleazy's is a Glasgow institution — tiny, sweaty, and utterly unpretentious — and it is exactly the right room for this kind of bill, where every act on the lineup is gunning to blow the roof off. At just £10, this is an absolute steal for a night of raw live music energy.

Elevate : Paco Osuna + Fluer Shore — SWG3 pulls out something genuinely special for September Weekend, bringing Paco Osuna — one of techno and minimal house's most revered names — to Glasgow alongside Fleur Shore for what promises to be a masterclass in dancefloor craft. The Osuna name alone is enough to have heads turning across the electronic music community, and SWG3's cavernous, production-rich space is the perfect canvas for it. Doors open at 9:00pm, tickets are £27–£36, and this one has very serious night-of-the-year energy.

Comedy Club 27th September — The Old Toll Bar is a grand, ornate Glasgow pub with the kind of character that makes every night in it feel like an occasion, and on Sunday the 27th it hosts a proper stand-up comedy club from 8:00pm. At just £5 this is one of the most generous deals on the whole weekend — a chance to sit back, sip something cold, and let some very funny people take care of the rest. Perfect for those who want the buzz of a September Weekend night out without the full-scale club commitment.
