Visitors to this year’s Merchant City Festival were in for a treat as the event celebrated its 10th birthday with the most extensive, colourful and diverse programme of the decade, including several world premieres and specially commissioned performances.

The Festival was a massive success with a record-breaking 90,000 attendances at its diverse range of exciting events spanning music, theatre, street art, dance, film and comedy. New for 2011 was a special sports-themed programme in celebration of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and the city's hosting of Olympic football matches as part of London 2012.
