PITCH Scotland has unveiled 100 artists and speakers for its biggest edition to date, bringing an ambitious international programme of live music, industry exchange and artist development to Glasgow from 2-4 September 2026.
Now entering its fifth year, PITCH will span Drygate Brewery, McChuills Music Bar, MOXY Merchant City, and BLOC+. The three-day event combines an international showcase festival, music-industry conference and three-day songwriting camp, placing Scottish hip hop and music communities in direct conversation with artists and industry leaders from across the UK and beyond.
More than 30 emerging acts from Scotland, the wider UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain and Canada will perform alongside headline appearances from Kofi Stone, Jawnino, Bloody Shield, Kadiata and Tony Bontana.
The 2026 live programme is led by a heavyweight line up of UK headline artists. Birmingham rapper Kofi Stone is one of the UK’s most respected voices in hip hop, celebrated for his reflective storytelling, soulful production and acclaimed latest project All The Flowers Have Bloomed.
Joining him is the enigmatic Jawnino, a London rapper whose vivid storytelling blends grime, jungle and UK rap with the gritty, restless energy of the city. Emerging with the 2019 underground hit “It’s Cold Out”, he has since collaborated with artists including MIKE, Kibo and James Massiah.
