TENEMENT TRAIL, Scotland’s multi-venue festival for music discovery, is back for 2025 with a first wave of unmissable artists including Manchester’s Pale Waves – and it’s already shaping up to be the ultimate day out for music lovers.
Taking place in Glasgow’s East End on Saturday 11th October across multiple venues and 12 hours, Pale Waves will be joined by a hugely exciting mix of artists including Chloe Slater, Do Nothing, Gallus and Soapbox plus announced today
Dead Pony, Ample House, Croíthe, EMMMA, Etta Marcus, Fatale, Fog Bandits, Glass Cheques, Humane The Moon, Jelly, Just For Fun, Mantel, Stride, The Rants, Waverley + Youth For Sale.
The festival is delighted to confirm BBC Introducing Live will once again pop-up at this year’s festival, their stage line-up to be announced soon!
The festival will once again take over some of Glasgow’s most iconic venues – including the world-famous Barrowland Ballroom, Saint Luke’s, BAaD and more – turning the much-loved east end of the city into a buzzing celebration of live music from noon until after midnight.
And speaking of midnight, the iconic midnight slot at McChuills has become the coveted slot of the festival with only 100 odd music fans lucky enough to witness the buzz band in a small venue. It’s the ultimate “I was there” moment for music fans. Stay tuned for the artist reveal.
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!”
Tennent’s Lager will return to support the festival as the official beer partner for TT25. Tennent’s Lager have long supported grassroots music in Scotland and are delighted to return to the festival in 2025.
Founder Chae Houston said: “We’re buzzing to complete the 50+ band line-up for this year’s TRAIL, the addition of Dead Pony has tripled our excitement. Glasgow is a special place for live music and every year the fans at TRAIL bring the energy, bring on this year’s event!”
This year’s line-up promises a curated mix of breakout artists, underground heroes and future headliners. You only have to look at our TRAIL alumni for proof of that; Lewis Capaldi, Yungblud and Sam Fender are a few of the many acts who have rocketed after their TRAIL performance. One again, the line-up has been carefully selected for those who live for discovering what’s next in music.
Tickets are on sale now – and they won’t last long. Whether you’re looking to find your new favourite artist or catch a jaw-dropping headline set in the iconic Barrowland Ballroom, Tenement Trail is your ticket to the best new music in one of the UK’s most electric live scenes.
