Blue Giant Orkestar are back in Glasgow's southside, to kick off their 2025 gigging calendar, and we have a very special guest band to make this an enormous and unmissable double bill.**BLUE GIANT ORKESTAR**
Blue Giant Orkestar are a tunetastic trans-European gold-plated instrumental hydra of nuclear brass, searing fiddle, pounding tuba, one enormous Russian concert accordion and a percussion section that could flatten your house. Fuelled by Balkan horos, Serbian brass festivals, Turkish pop songs, Bulgarian accordion fireworks and even a spot of Scottish ceildh, they play powerful and intricate originals as well as arrangements from many nations and peoples.
Formed in late 2019 and since spotted at festivals including Knockengorroch, Kelburn Garden Party, Feis Na Mara, Lancaster Music Festival and Celtic Connections, as well as some riotous gigs in their hometown of Edinburgh, BGO promise a party for your
body, a teaser for your brain and a salve for your heart. Their debut album,
‘Constellate’ was released in February 2024 with guests from across Europe.
