Glasgow 2026 – Festivals, Gigs, Live Events (and They’re Arriving Fast)

Some of us may have celebrated in true Scottish style with Burns Night on 25 January, a celebration of poetry, culture, tasty food and even better company. But that was only the warmup.

Looking ahead at the coming weeks are packed with reasons to get together in Glasgow and stay at the Acorn Hotel, Kelvingrove.

Mother’s Day – 15 March
You never need an excuse to treat Mum (or the mother figure in your life) but if you want to, the Acorn Hotel is the spot to book for a warm inviting (spotless) Glasgow hotel for a bit of spoiling.

Live events, gigs, theatre and festivals
From world-class music to popular sporting events, Glasgow is buzzing right now and there’s always something new just around the corner to consider being a part of.

We’ve all seen it. Friends booking trips, planning weekends away, saying yes to experiences instead of “maybe later.” If that sparks a bit of FOMO, here’s your sign: do the same.

This is the year to stop waiting for the “right time.” Make the memories. Get the group chat started (yes, another one!) Spend proper time with friends and family instead of talking about it someday.

The Acorn Hotel, right in the heart of Glasgow’s West End, puts you exactly where you want to be, minutes away from culture, food, green spaces and some of the city’s best-loved spots. It’s the ideal base for celebrating, exploring, or simply switching off for a night or two.

We book up quickly, especially around key dates and busy holiday weekends. If something caught your eye, don’t leave it too late.

March & April are flying towards us, the city is buzzing, and life is very much happening now. So don’t sit it out. Come and experience Glasgow at its best—with the people who make it even better.
