About Riverside Club
Riverside Club is one of Glasgow's most historically significant electronic music venues, operating since 1996 and helping to form the generation of DJs and dancers who now define the city's clubbing identity. The venue is situated in central Glasgow and has hosted thousands of nights across genres from house and techno to jungle and garage. Its longevity in a city with a notoriously competitive nightlife scene reflects both the consistency of its programming and its deep roots in Glasgow's musical community. Riverside Club has been a stepping stone for countless Glasgow DJs who have gone on to play internationally.
History
Riverside Club began in 1996 as Glasgow's electronic music scene was beginning to develop its distinct identity, separate from Edinburgh and London. The venue's consistent programming through the late 1990s and 2000s helped establish Glasgow's credibility on the UK electronic circuit. Several of Scotland's most celebrated DJs cut their teeth here.
