Jamie xx, Disclosure, Amelie Lens and Skream will headline Glasgow’s Riverside Festival as it returns this summer.
The iconic electronic and house festival will return for its eighth year – after being cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19 – to the grounds of the Riverside Museum on the River Clyde for three days from September 3-5.
Joining the headline acts will be Ben UFO, Hunee, Call Super, Jayda G, Paula Temple, Ellen Allien, Palms Trax, Leon Vynehall, Éclair FiFi, AFRODEUTSCHE, and Anz,
while co-curators of the event, Slam, will debut with their brand new Hybrid
Live concept.
Floating Points will also play live in Scotland for the first time, while Maya Jane Coles will go back-to-back with Mella Dee for a world exclusive, and Dax J and Kobosil will perform together in another Scottish first.
A new addition to this year’s event is the Satellite Stage, which will be
showcasing some of the finest up and coming talent from the electronic music
scene in the city.
On the newly added Friday event, Glasgow-based community radio station
Clyde Built Radio will take over the Satellite stage, and Glasgow club La Cheetah will host the Waterfront stage on Saturday and Sunday.
Festival Co-Director, Dave Clarke, said: “It feels like a long time in the making with the stop, start nature of operating in such an uncertain environment this last 12 months, so we are absolutely delighted to finally be closer to our creation of a massive open air dance floor in the city where everyone can celebrate being back together again.
“We are thrilled with the line-up and can’t wait to open the gates on Friday, September 3.”
