Hoolie in the Hydro 2025

Scotland’s biggest night of traditional music will celebrate Glasgow comedy and folk music legend Sir Billy Connolly in larger-than-life style. Hoolie in the Hydro: The Big Yin will take place in the city’s biggest venue on Saturday 13th December, as a ‘windswept and interesting’ cast of musicians pay tribute to Billy, his humour and his love and affinity for folk music.

The tribute will form the finale of the event, following a stellar line up from across Scotland’s vibrant folk and traditional music scene, including Elephant Sessions with their progressive blend of trad, funk and electronica, explosive six-piece Trail West, renowned supergroup Mànran, and the compelling Beluga Lagoon.
