Hot 8 Brass Band will perform at The Garage in Glasgow on July 28, 2026. The band originates from New Orleans, Louisiana and is known for its distinctive blend of traditional New Orleans brass band music with elements of funk, jazz, hip-hop, and rock. Formed in 1996 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Hot 8 Brass Band initially served as a social outlet for young men in the city’s Ninth Ward, evolving into a globally recognized musical force. Their performances are characterized by energetic improvisation, powerful horn arrangements, and a strong connection to the city’s vibrant musical heritage.

The Garage, located on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow, is a well-established independent music venue. Originally opened as a skating rink in 1904, it was converted into a dance hall and subsequently a nightclub before becoming a dedicated live music space in the late 1980s. Throughout its history, The Garage has hosted a diverse range of both emerging and established artists across multiple genres including rock, indie, electronic and alternative music. It maintains a reputation for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to supporting live music within the city's cultural landscape.
