Scottish Clubbing Highlights: April 2026

The Easter weekend kicks off with two legends of UK drum and bass: Roni Size and LTJ Bukem bring jazz-infused jungle to Edinburgh’s Liquid Room on Friday 3 April. At Glasgow's 1990, Warehaus hosts Beau Didier for a night of pulsing techno (3 Apr). Partiers are spoilt for choice on Saturday 4 April, with Sventek’s Moving Castle returning to Mains Castle, Dundee, for their annual bash – all proceeds donated to Variety Scotland. At Edinburgh's The Biscuit Factory, HAAi is set to bring down the house with her techno, bass and breaks selections (4 Apr). There’s cause for disco-drenched celebration at Drygate in Glasgow, as Melting Pot invites Horse Meat Disco up north for their 25th birthday (4 Apr). Djrum returns to La Cheetah Club to take partiers on a journey through genre, come with no expectations and leave with no disappointment (4 Apr).

Morrison Street brings Shanti Celeste to Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh on Thursday 9 April, with Sub Club regulars Babyccino and Carmen Baía joining the house-heavy party. Friday 10 April sees a triple threat of bass-led nights: mantle and Import club together to host dubstep royalty Joker at Sneaky Pete’s; one-time resident Objekt returns to take the helm at La Cheetah Club; and LA-based producer/DJ, Introspekt, brings her explorations in rhythmic bass music to EXIT, Glasgow. Still in EXIT on Saturday 11 April, this time with a takeover from record label ARA – Kangding Ray and Sorcery bring techno spanning emotive, industrial and experimental sounds. 

Perel joins discotia on Friday 17 April for synthy-techno, house and disco at Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh. A stone’s throw away, Like This celebrates four years with a party at the People’s Leisure Club on Saturday 18 April – it's an all-vinyl Detroit special from DJ 3000, preceded by an afternoon at Underground Solution for Record Store Day 2026. Over in Glasgow, Pixelate brings nightcore and nostalgia to Slay – neon, cosplay and kandi strongly encouraged (18 Apr). Edinburgh experimental queer night, Potpourri, host a back-to-back from G Jones and EPROM on 23 Apr, as well as fitting Sneaky Pete’s with a custom lighting rig and a signature incense scent (no Lynx necessary). After their previous sold-out party, INFOLINE are back for more phones-free clubbing, inviting DATSKO, Shake Daddy and Franck to People’s Leisure Club, Edinburgh, for some analogue amusements (24 Apr).
