Terminal V has revealed the first wave of artists for its landmark 10th anniversary, with Interplanetary Criminal, I Hate Models, Sara Landry, Ben Klock B2B Yanamaste, Helena Hauff, Mall Grab, Morgan Seatree, Funk Tribu, Clara Cuvé, Kobosil and Slam among the first names confirmed. The festival runs from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 June 2027 at Clydeside Live in Glasgow, and tickets go on sale Friday 13 November at 10am GMT. Fans can sign up here to be first in the queue.
A major headliner announcement is still to come in the days ahead, with organisers saying some of the festival’s biggest names remain under wraps. Further artists will be announced in the coming months. The first wave already stretches from UK garage and house to trance, electro, acid and hard techno, mixing artists who have shaped Terminal V over the past decade with a newer international generation.
The move to Glasgow is the festival’s first three-day edition and its first fully outdoor Scottish festival. Clydeside Live is a new waterfront event space in the city’s historic docklands, on the industrial landscape of the River Clyde. Area V gets a new main stage concept, while The Hangar and The Greenhouse return in reimagined form. Terminal V confirmed the riverside site in September, after announcing that April 2026 would be its last Edinburgh edition.
What began as a one-day event in 2017 has grown into one of the UK’s leading electronic music festivals, with more than a quarter of a million fans across its Scottish editions. The 2027 edition is billed as the most ambitious production yet, and the first announcement is framed as a celebration of the music that has defined the festival since launch.
Leading the first wave is UK garage favourite Interplanetary Criminal, known for an infectious mix of UK garage, bassline and house. He follows a standout set at Terminal V Croatia in 2026. That Croatian edition closed as the biggest yet, with Interplanetary Criminal among more than 100 artists in Tisno, and the Adriatic event returns from 15 to 19 July 2027.
French favourite I Hate Models is billed as one of techno’s most distinctive and unpredictable artists, moving between industrial intensity, euphoric melodies and emotionally charged soundscapes. American hard techno name Sara Landry is another major addition, with organisers pointing to her uncompromising sound and commanding performances.
Berlin techno mainstay Ben Klock plays B2B with Georgian rising star Yanamaste, pairing generations of underground techno. Fellow Berlin heavyweight Kobosil joins the anniversary bill, as does Hamburg’s Helena Hauff, known for a raw, analogue-driven approach to electro, acid and techno. Hauff has history with the festival, having been part of the 2025 Edinburgh line-up.
Scotland is represented by two duos. Glasgow’s Slam, who celebrate 35 years of Soma Records in 2026, draw on decades at the forefront of underground techno. Perth pair Clouds bring a high-velocity fusion of post-industrial techno, rave and 90s hardcore.
Manchester DJ and producer Morgan Seatree adds a 90s-inspired house sound, built through energetic productions and club-ready remixes, including his breakout reworking of Florence + The Machine’s Say My Name. Colombian-born, Berlin-based Funk Tribu is highlighted for trance-inspired club music that blends 90s and 00s influences with contemporary production, with breakout track Phonky Tribu credited with pushing him onto the international circuit.
Clara Cuvé and Nikolina represent a newer club generation. Cuvé moves between techno, electro, breakbeat and hardcore, while Nikolina is framed around the harder, faster sounds shaping current club culture. Also confirmed are Australian club names Skin On Skin and Mall Grab, Dutch artist Pegassi, UK bass producer MPH, hard techno favourite Restricted, and rising talent Faster Horses B2B DJ Gigola.
Italian live duo 999999999 will play a dedicated Acid Set of high-intensity, hardware-driven acid techno. Italian techno veteran Freddy K is also confirmed, performing B2B with a partner yet to be announced.
Several of these names were already part of the final Edinburgh chapter. The 2026 phase one announcement included Sara Landry and Clara Cuvé for the Royal Highland Centre, while the last Edinburgh bill also featured names such as I Hate Models, Mall Grab, Pegassi, Restricted, Yanamaste and 999999999.
Terminal V takes place at Clydeside Live, Glasgow, from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 June 2027. Tickets are on sale Friday 13 November at 10am GMT. Sign up here.
