The complete schedule for PITCH Scotland 2025 has been finalized.
The event was initiated to create a space for hip-hop artists and fans in Scotland and has since evolved to establish international connections.
Set to return later this month, the PITCH Scotland 2025 program features a blend of local talent and renowned international acts.
Scheduled from August 27th to 29th at Drygate Brewery and McChuills Music Bar & Venue in Glasgow, attendees can enjoy performances from genre-defying New York artist Pan Amsterdam, emerging Jamaican-Irish rapper JayaHadADream, and innovative German-born, East London-raised artist Zino Vinci.
Additionally, the international lineup includes articulate spoken word artist Rouzi (Serbia), rapidly ascending vocalist Lola Bunz (Canada), and the formidable Leo Miyagee (Northern Ireland).
Scottish artists such as AD3, Ay Bangz, CLING, Conscious Route, Eastside, intibint, Kai Reesu, Kenny Mgee, K Pence, Sherlock, Viv Latifa, and Wends will also be prominently featured.
Mobo Agoro, the Booker for PITCH Scotland, shares:
“What occurs when artists are given the freedom to take risks? Hip-hop has always been a domain for innovation. A place where individuals challenge norms to create something that resonates with their experiences. This year’s PITCH conference embodies that ethos. It’s about equipping artists with tools, context, and connections—while fostering honest, creative dialogues about what’s needed for growth.
Thursday of the conference focuses on the how and why—how artists can begin to cultivate audiences, communities, and sustainable income. Friday shifts attention to the who and where—the individuals who are developing the environments and scenes that enable artists to flourish.
Musically, we’re showcasing artists who push the boundaries of the genre. I’m referring to risk-takers, storytellers, and culture shapers from across Scotland. They are not merely producing tracks; they are influencing what hip-hop and its various forms look and sound like in this region.
Our international performers are not just here to entertain; they are here to reflect, validate, and provide context to the local work being done. This lineup demonstrates that Scottish artists are not isolated. Their sound is part of a broader global dialogue, and PITCH is where these connections are seeded and nurtured to grow. So rather than asking what’s next for hip-hop in Scotland… perhaps the more pertinent question is: what are we willing to create together when given the right space?”
Conference passes are priced from £30.00, with evening showcase tickets starting at £10.00 on Eventbrite. PITCH will take place from August 27th to 29th.
