The festival is set to host some of the world’s biggest and best urban artists in Glasgow, with 2024 expected to be the biggest year yet.

The space will transform into a kingdom of colour and creativity, giving local talent the chance to work side-by-side with well-known artists including JEKS, Ed-Mund, Jeroo, AURA, and Katie Scott.

There are also lots of things to do along Eastvale Place, the street leading down to SWG3, which will be closed off to traffic, with artists working throughout the whole road.
