Skiddle heads to Glasgow’s Resonate Music Conference 2026

In a little over a week, on Thursday 19th November, we’ll join the team behind Glasgow’s Resonate Music Conference to celebrate their milestone tenth anniversary at the city’s iconic nightlife destination, SWG3.

As a headline sponsor of the event, you’ll find us hosting one of many expert-led panel discussions happening at this year’s gathering, covering the importance of independent promoters. You’ll also find us manning our hard-to-miss exhibition stand, where you can come and meet and talk about your events with members of our team. 

If you’ve got tickets, don’t be a stranger. Come and say hello.

Ten years of making connections

Powered by 23rd Precinct Music, Resonate Music Conference brings artists, industry professionals and music fans together to learn, connect and create opportunities.

Across its first decade, the conference has supported more than 50 emerging artists through live performance opportunities and development programmes. This year’s anniversary edition continues that work, bringing established voices and fresh perspectives together under one roof. Find out more about Resonate.

The announced programme includes Touring 101, exploring the people and planning behind live shows, and Sync Your Teeth, looking at opportunities for music in film, TV, games and advertising.

There are also conversations with producer and Killing Joke bassist Youth (Martin Glover) and Elizabeth Sharkey, author of Why Britain Rocked, alongside sessions on women’s careers in music and life as a session musician.

Resonate Live rounds things off with performances at SWG3. Explore the 2026 programme.

Skiddle presents: The importance of independent promoters

When: Thursday 19th November | 12:20 pm – 1:05 pm

Before an artist becomes a household name, someone has to take a chance on booking them. Independent promoters do exactly that, backing emerging talent and building audiences from the ground up.

Join us for a conversation about supporting the people who keep live music moving. Explore why their role matters, the pressures they face and what the industry stands to lose without them.

The conversation will look beyond putting on shows to examine how independent promoters shape regional music scenes, support local economies and create spaces where communities and culture can thrive.

We’ll also discuss how to make getting started more accessible: What stands in the way of new promoters? What support would help them build sustainable businesses? And how can ticketing companies, venues, agents and established promoters work together to strengthen the independent sector?

Our special guest panellists will be announced in the days leading up to the event. Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram to stay up to date.

Come and meet the Skiddle team

Head to the exhibition hall at SWG3 to witness our impressive stand, and find members of our expert ticketing team on hand to answer your questions and chat about all things events. 

Whether you’re on the cusp of taking the first steps towards launching a club night or a festival, or you’ve already got an established brand name, we’d love to hear what you’re working on, share our ticketing and promotion know-how and discuss how we could support your events.
