Saturday 13th August 2011
Tickets: Start at £9/£5 concession
Location: Glasgow Green
On Saturday the 13th of August, pipe bands from around the world will descend onto Glasgow Green with one goal – to be World Pipe Band Champions 2011.
Once again, ‘The Worlds’ will welcome bands from as far afield as Eastern Europe, Australia, USA, Pakistan, New Zealand and Canada.
This year the competition will be fierce, with St. Laurence O’Toole returning to defend their Grade 1 crown which they snapped from the jaws of Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, winners in 2008 and 2009.
The World Pipe Band Championships is one of the highlights of Scotland’s Festival Calendar attracting spectators from all over the world.
