About Sword of Damocles Festival

Featuring an incredible line-up with Mars Red Sky returning to Glasgow to headline, performing with special guest Helen Ferguson from Queen of the Meadow (France), and accompanied by Yuri Gagarin (Sweden), Wet Cactus (Spain), Maha Sohona (Sweden), Five The Hierophant (UK), The Lunar Effect (UK), and Troy The Band (UK) - the latter six all making their debut performances in Scotland!

Independently run, underground at heart, Sword of Damocles offers a new experience to the Glasgow music scene. Bringing big headline acts and a cast of new visitors who have not yet had the chance to visit this fantastic city and country.

Join us in making this inaugural event a success for all the bands visiting for the first time as we remind everyone why Glasgow needs to be on every band's touring list! Prepare for heavy riffs, fuzzy melodies, and a fantastic day of live performances. See you there!
