Glasgow Mela is being programmed by the Scottish-Asian Creative Artists Network, who said: "We’re delighted to be back to our usual format in Kelvingrove Park.

"We’ve missed the full Glasgow Mela experience as much as our audiences and can’t wait to bring you an exciting programme on and off the stage.

"We have some fantastic commissions this year continuing our mission to promote the visibility of artists and performers of South Asian heritage, their work and creativity."

Coming from the Sanskrit word for "gathering", the first Glasgow Mela was held in 1990 as part of the European City of Culture.
