WOMAD, the World of Music, Arts and Dance festival, is cancelled for Glasgow’s 2026 dates after low ticket sales, according to multiple outlets. The festival was scheduled to take place at Kelvingrove Park on 3 and 4 July, marking the event’s first appearance in Scotland. The planned Glasgow edition comes after a year off, and it was expected to be the first Scottish instalment of the festival founded by Peter Gabriel. Glasgow Life confirms the cancellation, and at least one report says a refund update is issued to ticket-holders, indicating ticket purchases will be refunded. While the reporting centres on ticket demand as the reason for cancelling, the coverage broadly agrees on the basic event details, including the venue, the dates, and the fact that the festival was intended to debut in Scotland. No alternative dates are reported in the articles provided.
