PLAYGROUND Festival is finally going to make a comeback in 2021 after being slightly delayed due to Covid-19.

The event - due to take place from September 24 to September 26 at Rouken Glen Park - returns to Giffnock park after a two-year-long wait due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Organisers have been working hard to bag some exciting headliners this year, including The Libertines, Nile Rodgers and Leftfield.

Covid testing policy

And, they are hoping to ensure the safety of festivalgoers with their strict Covid testing policy. 

Those who have tickets for the event - which are still on sale HERE - will be required to show NHS verification of a negative lateral flow test (LFT), taken 48 hours before entering the site.

LFTs can be ordered for free HERE.
