Yardworks Festival returned to SWG3 in Glasgow on May 2–3, 2026, marking its 10th anniversary with one of its biggest editions to date.

Montana Cans supported Yardworks Festival 2026 together with Global Art Supplies, helping provide the material backbone for a weekend shaped by colour, scale, and the energy of the graffiti community. Congrats to Yardworks on the 10th anniversary. From established names to emerging talent, the anniversary edition once again showed why Yardworks has become one of the UK’s key meeting points for contemporary graffiti culture.
The final public art installation of Yardworks’ three-year Yardworks GRID creative placemaking programme saw 16 Kingston Bridge pillars transformed by local and international artists during the Yardworks weekend and throughout May. In addition, the recently established legal wall space along the Clyde Walkway featured a wide range of local artists, once again refreshing the artwork along this important connection between the riverside and SWG3.
