Heather from headliners Pale waves said: “We’re very excited to be headlining Tenement Trail this October. My dad was born and raised in Glasgow so I have plenty of family still there so the city holds a special place in my heart. Also barrowlands on a Saturday night is going to be unhinged in the best possible way I’m ready for chaos!”

The scene is better than ever and our line-up of Scottish artists really shows that. Pale Waves are an iconic headliner, their Barras show will be outrageously good.
