World Pipe Band Championships return to Glasgow this summer – here is how to get tickets

Tickets for the exciting event, which attracts thousands of pipers and drummers from all over the world to compete for the ultimate prize in pipe band competitions, have now gone on sale.

This will be the 75th anniversary of Glasgow hosting the renowned event for the first time in 1948, and the city has staged the Worlds ever since 1986.Last year’s Championships saw 40,000 spectators descend on Glasgow Green to watch and hear 146 bands from Scotland and as far afield as the USA, Canada, Austria and Australia battling to be crowned the winners. The title of 2022 world champions went to Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band, with Inveraray and District Pipe Band finishing runners-up.

Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association Chief Executive, Colin Mulhearn, encouraged people to book as early as possible to avoid the disappointment of missing out on a spot in the Grade 1 Seating Arena, he said: “The huge attendance last year’s spectacular event attracted, and numbers of the bands competing, is testimony to how much these iconic Championships mean to the international piping community and to fans of traditional Scottish music.
