If you’re a fan of the pipes and drums, Glasgow is the place to be this summer. The World Pipe Band Championships are returning to Glasgow Green on the 15th and 16th of August 2025. With top bands from around the world competing and thousands of visitors expected, this is one event that should definitely be on your calendar.

But that’s not all—the week leading up to the Championships is packed with even more piping goodness thanks to Piping Live!, a city-wide festival running from 11th–17th August. Expect pop-up performances, late-night gigs, workshops, and a buzzing atmosphere across the city.
