Scotland fans looking for entertainment in Germany ahead of this Friday’s Euro 2024 opener will be able to enjoy voices from home as Scots musicians get ready to play an opening party.
Organised by The Tartan Troubadours, some big names from Scotland will be playing two shows in Munich and one show in Cologne before Scotland’s games against Germany and Switzerland.
Acts including Glasvegas, The View’s Kyle Falconer, The Tartan Specials and more will be playing in Munich on Thursday 13 June and Friday 14 June.
Thursday’s show will be hosted at Munich venue Backstage Kulturzentrum, while the opening day match party on Friday will be at Freiheitshalle starting from 3 pm with doors opening at 2 pm.
Glasvegas and Kyle Falconer will headline both concerts. Thursday’s special guests and support acts are Nathan Evans, Gallus, Ben Walker, PG Ciarletta, and DJ Tam Coyle.
Friday’s show sees Nathan Evans return to support, with special guests The Tartan Specials also taking to the stage.

They’ll be hosting pre-match parties ahead of the gigs at backstage on the 13th and Cologne on the 18th, but the latter is now sold out.
Ticket prices start from just over £40 with discounts available if larger parties book.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
