Perform With Us!
At The Glitch, we work hard to create affordable and meaningful opportunities for artists to work with us. The vast majority of our headline programme is selected via open call - usually in April and November each year. Headline shows run for 7 shows a week, for up to three weeks. Or, if you’re looking for something a bit shorter-term, we offer Short Runs of between 1 and 3 performances. These are usually booked a minimum of 3 weeks in advance. Read on to learn more about the opportunities we have at the moment!
