The Rooks

Emerging from Glasgow’s vibrant music scene, The Rooks are carving out a distinct presence as a Scottish rock band since forming in 2020. Their dynamic approach to live music has quickly captured the attention of discerning listeners and concertgoers, merging the city’s deep-rooted rock tradition with a fresh, energetic spirit that electrifies stages across the UK.

The Rooks have built their reputation through a series of notable live performances. In January 2026, they took to the stage in Glasgow as a support act for Overpass during the “Elsewhere, Always Album Launch Show”—a testament to their growing recognition within the circuit. Prior to that, they contributed their sound to Leeds’ renowned “LIVE AT LEEDS IN THE CITY” in November 2025, sharing a packed bill that boasted a wide range of celebrated and ambitious artists, and supporting headliner Jalen Ngonda. These gigs underscore The Rooks’ commitment to delivering compelling sets whether in headlining slots or alongside established names.

For those seeking dynamic live music and a contemporary take on Scottish rock, The Rooks headline the “NEW MUSIC NIGHT” at night & day in Manchester in May 2026. Their live gigs stand as an invitation to experience the evolution of rock in real time. Stay tuned—be sure to follow The Rooks and check their tour dates for upcoming shows and concert announcements.
