Five years ago, someone had the rather splendid idea of gathering Glasgow's house and disco faithful under one roof for a day-long celebration of groove. This Easter Sunday, the Scottish House & Disco Festival returns to SWG3 for its 5th anniversary — and the lineup is an absolute belter.

On Sunday 5th April, the festival takes over both the SWG3 TV Studio and The Poetry Club from 2pm until midnight, offering ten hours of some of the finest house and disco music you'll hear anywhere in Europe. It's the kind of event that has quietly become one of Glasgow's most cherished dance music traditions.

A Lineup to Match the Milestone

The organisers have pulled out all the stops. Headlining is Dimitri From Paris, the French DJ and producer whose impeccable taste in disco edits and remixes has made him a global icon. Alongside him, Michael Gray — the man behind "The Weekend," one of the defining house tracks of the 2000s — brings his infectious energy to the decks.

Norman Jay MBE, a genuine legend of UK dance music culture and the man who helped bring rare groove to the masses, completes a headline trio that would grace any festival in the world.

The supporting cast is equally impressive. Melvo Baptiste, a BBC Radio 1 regular whose sets blend deep house with soulful grooves, joins Al Kent, a crate-digger's crate-digger whose knowledge of disco is virtually unmatched. Natasha Kitty Katt, Young Pulse, Moodena, Art of Tones, and Groove Assassin round out an international bill that reads like a who's who of the global house and disco scene.

Local talent is well represented too, with Austin Ato, Shaka Loves You, Bob Jeffries, Kris Keegan, Simmone Black, and more flying the flag for Scotland's thriving dance music community.

The Venue

SWG3 hardly needs introduction to anyone who's spent an evening in Glasgow's West End. The converted warehouse space on Eastvale Place has become one of Scotland's most important music venues, and its industrial aesthetic — all exposed brick and cavernous ceilings — lends itself perfectly to a day of hedonistic disco and house. With the festival spread across both the TV Studio and The Poetry Club, there's room to explore different sounds and vibes throughout the day.
