Youth Band is coming back!
Youth Band re-launching in Royston for 2026
SambaYaBamba Youth Street Band is relaunching in Royston in 2026!
SambaYaBamba Youth Street Band first came to life in 2016, a bold, noisy, brilliant space for young people aged 11–25 from all over Glasgow and beyond to come together through music.
Over the years, the band grew into a 50-strong collective of percussion and brass, with members not just rehearsing and performing but taking the lead in directing tunes and shaping the sound themselves.

Since then, they have played over 200 public performances, from street busks and festivals to The Encontro Street Band Festival, and collaborated with youth groups across Edinburgh, Manchester, France, and Brazil.
The Youth Band is open to all young people, including those with no prior musical experience, and we’re buzzing to say it will be relaunching in Royston in 2026 to celebrate 10 years of our Youth Band."
