This one’s got a bit of history to it.
Hometown and Uplands go way back, to 2018, when Stu first started roasting coffee out the Hometown yard. Since then Uplands has become a part of Glasgow’s landscape, and the Railyard has turned into one of those spaces that’s felt really positively by a lot of people around us 🙏
It feels right to bring that shared energy into the Dub Club environment.
Stu will be passing through with a bag of fire dubplates (expect LOTS of specials), with nicing it up on live flute. Special warm up sets from the Uplands posse too.

We’re heading back to the forest, over the bridge, under the trees in the corner 😉
Hometown Corner is our own world inside Kelburn Garden Party. It’s a constant force of sound system pressure throughout the weekend; familiar faces, heavy tunes, dancefloor heat - the spot.
BIG LOVE to Kelburn for supporting the concept. We’ve been building this space year by year, learning how to make it better, deeper and more us each time. 2026 is another step forward, featuring a diverse lineup of Scottish sound system artists that we’ll be making a full announcement on very soon 🙏
Tixxx for Kelburn are heading for a sellout in the next few weeks - join us before it’s too late 🎟️

Hometown’s dynamic duo WENDS & TOM SPIRALS are taking the ferry to Arran for ISLAND VIBE ☀️
.
These two have developed a telepathic energy on the Hometown mic section in recent times, combining melodic harmonies with punchy fast-chat styles to create something truly unique in the moment - real sound system style 🔥
.
3 months to go and half the tickets are sold. There’s only 110 capacity and it ALWAYS sells out - don’t be one of those left out. Get your ticket and ferry sorted pronto ⛴️

I ran off a batch of screen prints last week — £10 each, and every penny goes straight towards helping families in the community who are struggling right now.
We’re living through a time where people are being stripped of their dignity by those in power… this is about showing up for each other in spite of what’s going on
If you can support, it genuinely makes a difference.

Two sound systems built in different cities, shaped by different crews and vibes, but coming from the same place — pure love for the music, respect for the culture, and compulsion to build something realer than real
