Celtic Connections 2023
Internationally renowned as Europe's largest winter music festival, Celtic Connections is set to celebrate its 30th incarnation in 2023. Over 2,100 musicians from around the world bring the city to life for 18 days. During that time, there are concerts, ceilidhs, talks, art exhibitions, workshops, free events and a special series of commissions celebrating Scotland's Year of Stories 2023.
Creative Director Donald Shaw programmes more than 300 events across multiple genres of music. The festival is renowned for its ability to bring together one-off line-ups for special collaborative shows. The camaraderie between musicians continues late into the night at the Festival Club - home to legendary musical collaborations and spontaneous sessions.
"There are situations that you'll see where people are playing that you'll never see again, or if you do, it's because it worked here first." Donald Shaw, Creative Director
