Innovation Glasgow 2023 - Drumming for Drinks

Drumming for Drinks is back with the bang the pipe band world has been waiting for!

Now in its fourteenth year, the most talked about event of Worlds Week makes its long-anticipated comeback at its new home at Barras Art and Design in Glasgow, where we give some of the best pipe band drummers in the world five minutes each to show us what they can do!

The audience-voted winner walks away with the biggest prize fund available in pipe band drumming.
