Pre-festival gigs

As a lead up to the big day on July 23rd, there will be some tasty gig treats to get you in the right mood.

First up there’s the official Glasgowbury warm-up at The Menagerie in Belfast this Friday, 15th July.

Rocket 88 Promotions have organised the celebratory bash with two fine local talents and festival players; Axis Of and The Rupture Dogs.

The whole sweaty affair kicks off from 9pm at The Menagerie in Belfast. Come along – we might even have some festival goodies for you to get your hands on!

Friday 22nd July:

The Cellar Bar in Draperstown has a cracking line-up with Mental Deficiency and The Q suitably wrecking things before the big day.

*There will be also be a bus running to the site on the night and it’s imperative that you are already arm-banded and checked in to the festival beforehand otherwise you won’t get access to the festival site on the Friday night.*

Or get your ass to Derry where LaFaro, The Rupture Dogs and Event Horses are going to tear strips off Sandinos walls.

Then they make their way down over the hill for the big day on Saturday!

If you’re organising a pre-Glasgowbury celebration get in touch, let us know and we’ll add it to our list and maybe even join you for the party!
