Tide Lines

🎉 10 YEARS OF TIDE LINES! 🎉

We’ve taken our 10 year celebrations all around Europe and spent the summer playing festivals across the UK ☀️🎶 But there are still a few parts of Scotland we’ve missed on our travels this year…

So we’re hitting the road again! 🚐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’re heading your way for a few more shows before 2026 is out, with our good friend Calum Bowie opening the shows.

Tide Lines are a band whose story stretches from the wild expanses of the Scottish Highlands to the beating heart of Glasgow. In June 2025, they celebrated a landmark moment with their fourth album Glasgow Love Story via their own Tide Lines Music label, which landed at No.1 in Scotland and No.11 in the UK Official Album Charts — their highest UK chart position to date and third Scottish No.1.

Across three earlier albums — from the sweeping romanticism of Dreams We Never Lost through to 2023’s An Ocean Full of Islands (which charted at No.13 in the UK and No.1 in

Scotland) — Tide Lines built a reputation for expansive, anthemic songs and magnetic live performances. 2024 was a milestone year: three euphoric nights at Glasgow’s legendary

Barrowland Ballroom, 14 summer festival appearances across the UK, a sold-out European run through the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. They closed the year with a 14,000-ticket Scottish tour that included a triumphant return to the Usher Hall.

Now, as they mark 10 years together, the story continues with the recently released Glasgow Love Story, an album rooted not in island remoteness but in the pulse of the city they now call home. Robertson describes it as “a love letter to Glasgow. It’s the city we started the band in, and it’s been a constant presence in our journey ever since.” He continues: “We’ll always be influenced by where we’re from. The Highlands gave us our first songs, but Glasgow gave us a stage and an audience. Both places are written into what we do.” The record paints a panoramic portrait of the city: the sandstone tenements glowing red in the evening sun, rain-slicked streets shining under lamplight, and the everyday lives unfolding in its bars, dancehalls and quiet corners.
