Celtic Connections 2026 Proudly Presents Rokia Koné & Support
Expect an evening of pure, unadulterated soul delivered by one of West Africa's most compelling voices: the renowned Malian singer, Rokia Koné.
Affectionately nicknamed 'The Rose of Bamako,' Koné is a force of nature. Her captivating sound soars above infectious Mande guitar grooves and traditional percussion, carrying an emotional weight that runs the gamut from joy and love to fury and resilience. Having gained global acclaim for her work with the feminist supergroup Les Amazones d'Afrique, she now brings her stunning solo material—a brilliant fusion of her rich griot heritage with a modern, dynamic edge—to Glasgow.
This is more than a concert; it's a deep, warming dive into the heart of Malian tradition and modern innovation. For world music lovers, or anyone searching for an unforgettable experience to banish the January chill, this intimate night is an unmissable moment of pure connection.
Why do we have a restoration Levy?
Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building.
As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events.
