Riverside Festival organisers 'making up for lost time' as huge 2021 line-up announced with extra day

The line-up for next summer's Riverside Festival has been announced, with organisers dubbing it a "massive open air dance floor" in Glasgow, where "everyone can celebrate being back together again".

The festival will return to the banks of the Clyde for the eighth year, after last year's event was cancelled due to coronavirus.

It's set to take place at the Riverside Museum on the rearranged date of September 3-5 - with organisers saying they are "making up for lost time" by adding an extra day and turning the event into a 3-day weekender.

After having to reschedule the 2020 event, organisers have now confirmed that previously announced headline acts Jamie xx, Disclosure, Amelie Lens and Skream will be joined by a string of the world’s most "cutting-edge" DJs.

Festival Co-Director, Dave Clarke, said: "It feels like a long time in the making with the stop, start nature of operating in such an uncertain environment this last 12 months.

"So we are absolutely delighted to finally be closer to our creation of a massive open air dance floor in the city where everyone can celebrate being back together again.

"We are thrilled with the line-up and can’t wait to open the gates on Friday, September 3."

Ben UFO, Hunee, Call Super, Jayda G, Paula Temple, Ellen Allien, Palms Trax, Leon Vynehall, Éclair FiFi, AFRODEUTSCHE, and Anz will all feature while co-curators of the event, Slam, will debut with their brand new Hybrid Live concept.

Floating Points will play live in Scotland for the first time, Maya Jane Coles goes back-to-back with Mella Dee for a world exclusive, while Dax J and Kobosil will perform together in another Scottish first.

A new addition to this year’s event is the Satellite Stage, which will be showcasing some of the finest up and coming talent from the electronic music scene in the city.

On the newly added Friday, Glasgow-based community radio station Clyde Built Radio will take over the Satellite stage, and one of Glasgow’s best loved clubs La Cheetah will host the Waterfront stage on Saturday and Sunday.
