French electronic artist Carpenter Brut headlines SWG3 Galvanizers in the synthwave movement, with HEALTH and special guest VOWWS.
Carpenter Brut plays SWG3 Galvanizers on Thursday 5 November, part of his Conflict: Europe 2026 tour. He's a French electronic artist who's been at the front of the synthwave movement for nearly a decade, blending 80s electro influences with modern production to build his sound. The Glasgow date sits in the middle of a short run: he's in Bristol on Wednesday 4 November and Wolverhampton on Friday 6 November.
He won't be on his own for this one. HEALTH are supporting him, with VOWWS as special guest, so it's a full bill rather than just a headliner and an opener. If you're not familiar with the synthwave thing, it's essentially electronic music that looks back to the 80s — think neon, cinematic synths, and a heavy beat — but played with a modern edge. Brut's been doing it for a long time now, so he's well into his stride with it.

On the practical side, the show is for ages 14 and over. Under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, and one adult can take a maximum of two under-16s. The Glasgow date is sold out, though there's an accessible viewing platform, wheelchair spaces, and free companion tickets available through Ticketmaster. Doors open at 7pm, and there's a 10pm curfew, so it's a fairly early night. Tickets were £47.75 including fees, with a £42.50 face value.
