Thanks to everyone who attended, performed in and supported this year's Surge Festival.on 19th - 21st of July in the Merchant City, Glasgow. Surge Festival 2025 will be held 18th - 20th July, 2025.
The 15th edition of SURGE Festival once again transformed the streets of Merchant City in Glasgow, presenting a wild variety of outdoor acts to ignite your senses and fuel your imagination. Mushrooms springing up in a graveyard, dangerous sheep rampaging through the streets, and innovative AI techniques for you to experiment with, there was plenty to watch and take part in.
This year's festival featured new professional work from all four home nations and cutting-edge Scottish premieres of international performances, as well as work from communities across Scotland.
