Concerts
Glasgow is famous for its music and we intend to honour that with a series of concerts in a number of styles, and with links to science fiction and fantasy.

Interstellar Pipe Organ Recital
We are privileged to host a performance of the score of the film Interstellar by organist Roger Sayer, who recorded the original organ soundtrack of the film itself. Roger will also speak about the score and experience of recording for the film. We are planning to hold the performance in a venue with a full pipe organ in Glasgow, close to the convention centre.
The Irish Video Game Orchestra
The Irish Video Game Orchestra (IVGO) is a group of passionate musicians at the forefront of the video game music scene. Established in 2015, the IVGO brings the intricate and powerful scores of video game landscapes to audiences across Ireland and the UK. They performed at the 2019 Worldcon in Dublin and Eurocon in Belfast. They are excited to come to Glasgow. IVGO writes “Join us at Worldcon as we take you on an immersive journey through beloved video game realms, bringing to life the iconic scores that resonate with many generations of gaming enthusiasts. From the sweeping melodies of The Elder Scrolls to the powerful dynamics of Baldur’s Gate 3, the IVGO’s performances bridge the gap between the worlds we have traversed on screen and reality.” (Armadillo Auditorium – Sunday 1:30pm)
Another Castle
Another Castle is the geekiest (mostly) women’s choir in Helsinki, Finland, who draw their inspiration from fantasy, sci-fi, video games, anime, films, etc. They performed at the 2017 Helsinki and 2019 Dublin Worldcons to great acclaim, and Glasgow 2024 is honoured to host them. (SEC Hall 2 – Sunday 5:30 p.m.)
