Become a Celtic Friend

The essential package for the dedicated Celtic fan!

Celtic Friends are the heart and soul of the Celtic Connections audience, helping us to support new projects here in Scotland and bring together international musicians from every corner of the globe. Designed for the dedicated concert-goer, the Celtic Friends package offers a wide selection of free and discounted tickets, plus VIP hospitality.

Celtic Connections is the highlight of the musical year for us. We have been Celtic Friends since the beginning of the programme — not only is it a real money-saver, but it also lets us show our support for all the folks who make this great event possible, and we enjoy the extra touches in the Friends' area of the Celtic Café.
