What's On in Glasgow
Sunday 08 November 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Glasgow does not do Sundays quietly, and the 8th of November 2026 is proof of that — from early afternoon folk sessions to late-night afterparties, the city is stacked with reasons to get out of the house. Whether you fancy losing yourself in trip-hop grooves at a legendary academy, dissolving into nostalgic chaos at a school disco, or catching sharp new comedy in a basement, today has something to reward every kind of curious soul.
Highlights
The Dunwells - Arches Sessions | The Poetry Club SWG3 — Kick your Sunday afternoon into life with the Dunwells at The Poetry Club inside SWG3, one of Glasgow's most characterful creative spaces. The Leeds folk-rock brothers bring warm, harmony-drenched songs that feel tailor-made for an intimate early session, starting at 1:00pm. Check the website for tickets, and get there early to soak up the atmosphere before the city fully wakes up.

Broadway on Bothwell Street — At 2:30pm, The Noble Public House Glasgow transforms into something rather spectacular as Broadway on Bothwell Street brings showstopping musical theatre to a pub setting — and honestly, what a combination. For just £17 you get the drama, the belting vocals, and the big emotions of Broadway without having to book a flight to New York. It is the kind of Sunday afternoon treat that feels genuinely indulgent.

NOW That's What I Call a School Disco - 80's Edition — From 3:30pm at The Ferry, this is your invitation to dig out your imaginary blazer and absolutely lose it to the greatest hits of the 1980s in the best possible way. NOW That's What I Call a School Disco is exactly what it sounds like — unashamed, euphoric fun for anyone who grew up with a cassette player or simply wishes they had. Tickets run from just £5 to £20, making it one of the most accessible and joyful options of the day.

Morcheeba — Sunday evening at the O2 Academy Glasgow belongs to Morcheeba, the trip-hop icons whose smoky, soulful sound has soundtracked countless late nights since the 1990s. Seeing them live is a genuinely transportive experience — Skye Edwards' voice wrapping around those deep, languid grooves in a room full of people who know every word. Doors are at 7:00pm; check the website for ticket availability before they are gone.

Käärijä - Eurodisko Tour 2026 — If you have not yet encountered Finnish Eurovision sensation Käärijä, tonight at Galvanizers SWG3 is your moment of joyful, high-energy enlightenment. The Eurodisko Tour promises something loud, colourful, and completely uncynical — a euphoric collision of rave energy and pop spectacle that will leave you grinning for days. The show starts at 7:00pm; check the website for tickets and prepare to surrender entirely.

Aaron McCann - Momentum — Rounding out the evening with something a little different, Aaron McCann brings his hour Momentum to the intimate Blackfriars Basement at 7:30pm for £20. Comedy in a basement venue has a particular electricity to it — nowhere to hide, performer and audience locked in together — and McCann is exactly the kind of act worth showing up for on a November Sunday. Grab your tickets and prepare to laugh harder than feels entirely reasonable.
