28th August

Glassel Gig, now in its 7th, year is the Northeast's largest 13-hour open-air music festival. Live music in the midst of the glorious Deeside landscape is what the Glassel Gig is all about.
With 2 stages of some of the best live bands coming from all over Scotland, playing non-stop through a powerful 15K sound system for 13 hours, the 'Glassel Experience' won't disappoint you!

All the money raised at the event goes to support a host of local charities and causes and we have now donated over £90,000. The music featured covers everything from Rock, Pop, Indie, Cajun, Blues, Ceilidh-Rock Bluegrass and Folk. There really is something for everyone and plenty of room on the large dance floor to shake your bones. Face-painting, hair-spraying, street theatre characters and dancers all help to produce the electric carnival atmosphere.

Each year the event sells out to a capacity crowd of 3,000 people of every age, from toddlers to totterers. Featuring a 70' long bar with afull range of drinks, a dedicated kids bar which includes sweets, soft-drinks and toys and a wonderful B-B-Q with local meats and vegetarian food, you can be fully refreshed all day!

The Gates will open on the28th August at 12 noon and a festival of music will be provided throughout the day until 1 am with a fireworks finale. For anyone who enjoys quality live music, a ticket to the gig is an absolute must!


Tickets have to be bought in advance, as no tickets are sold on the day of the gig.
