Everything you need to know about Riverside Festival & Electric Frog this weekend

With just a few days to go until the biggest electronic music party arrives at Glasgow’s Riverside Museum on Saturday, 31st August, the event organisers share everything you need to know before the end of summer celebrations begin.

LINE UP

Giving music lovers the chance to experience some Clydeside open air dancing with seven hours of tunes and an all-star lineup, Riverside Festival & Electric Frog’s one day, single stage event will host some of the biggest names in electronic music.

Having first taken the Australian scene by storm, Skin On Skin has quickly become a fan favourite around the world thanks to his unique and forward-thinking blend of techno, classic house and alternative hip hop. This headline set will be his only Scottish show this year – and one fans won’t want to miss!

Co-headliner KETTAMA will also wow the crowds with his unmistakable sound, characterised by pulsating grooves, rupturing drum patterns and gruelling bass. Having quickly risen to notoriety within the electronic music scene, amassing a huge following at home and abroad as a pioneer of ‘Sledgehammer House’, the groundbreaking artist brings hard-hitting bass and devious drums infused into a euphoric energy-filled soundscape.

Also joining the impressive lineup is one of Scotland's biggest selectors, La La, who has been lighting up the international circuit since leaving Glasgow for London in 2019. With an infectious energy, this homecoming show will get everyone up and dancing.

Another breakthrough Glasgow DJ and producer, Hayley Zalassi adds undeniable presence and magnetic energy to day’s festivities, while supremely talented DJ and visual artist, Dija, a regular on the city's vibrant underground club scene, completes the unmissable line up.
