Dear Green Music Scene Festival 2026

For the third year running, we’re hosting one of our favourite annual events – Dear Green Music Scene Festival. Come along to this green-powered extravaganza in St Mungo Square!

For 2026, the ARC, the College of Arts and Humanities Sustainability Forum, GALLANT, Glasgow Science Festival, Music in the University and WestFest, have all teamed up to create this sustainably powered music festival in St Mungo Square.

Running across two stages powered by hydrogen and solar energy our mini-festival showcases a fantastic line-up of grassroots musicians, with researchers discussing the clean energy transition.

We’re starting with the annual WestFest ceilidh at 12:30. There will then be performances by Glasgow-based acts across the two stages.

Indoors, there will be research to engage with, and activities for all ages, including a drop-in animation workshop, where recycled and found items will be used to make your creations.

This is not one to be missed, so sign-up here for your tickets.
