What we're looking for

Our programming covers a range of genres, everything from traditional, folk, classical and jazz, to indie, electronic and more progressive rock genres. A range of local support and festival slots are available, as well as headlining slots from bigger names in their field from Scotland and the world over.

About us

We re-opened the venue in 2002, after a sensational restoration and redesign by award winning architect Richard Murphy. We have quickly established a reputation as one of the best live music venues in the country. The Tolbooth has always been a feature of Stirling's cultural life, it has been a court and jail (complete with death cells) and hosted a parliament in the reign of James VI. Nowadays the Tolbooth is the base for Stirling Council's Arts and Events Team and the home to some of the best musicians and performers working in Scotland.
