Louisa Mahon, chief marketing and ceremonies officer at Glasgow 2026, said: “Glasgow doesn’t do things in half measures – we sing louder, dance harder and are known for throwing our doors open wider than anywhere else.

“On 23 July, we will share that spirit with 74 nations from across the Commonwealth in this beautifully curated ceremony.

“An opening ceremony is the extension of the host city’s culture and we’re proud to put the future of Scottish music and current homegrown stars on a bill alongside artists like KT Tunstall, who helped lay the foundations for emerging artists in Scotland.”

“The show is a love letter to Glasgow, to Scotland and to the Commonwealth nations we’re about to welcome with open arms,” she added.

“This is going to be a night to remember.”

This year’s pared back Games features 10 sports compared to the 17 that took place 12 years ago, following a difficult time for the competition.

Tickets are available via the Games website., external
