The festival presents screening events at East Kilbride Arts Centre throughout the year, leading to a three-day annual celebration across venues in the Village.

The festival’s mission is to connect creatives with film professionals from across the globe, showcasing diverse short films and unproduced scripts. All films screened at the screening events are nominated for the annual event, where major awards — including a £2,000 Best Short Film Prize — will be presented. Alongside screenings, the annual event features networking, panel discussions, live music, and much more.

Due to popular demand and after a successful standing gig in 2025, Live Wire are back in 2026 for another!

AC/DC, arguably the greatest rock band of all time, are brought to life by Live Wire with the true passion you would expect from professional musicians who share your love of this legendary live act. They deliver a critically acclaimed High Voltage two hour rock ’n’ roll set with not only cannons and a full bank of Marshall amps but a journey that takes fans from one of the best-selling albums of all time ‘Back in Black’ through to the 2020 release ‘PWR UP’, with a healthy dose of the classics from the Bon Scott era. 

With over 20 years of touring under their belt, Live/Wire put the audience right in the middle of a live experience comparable to that only AC/DC themselves produce. We invite AC/DC fans to join us, sing with us and relive some of those classic AC/DC concerts of the past on our very own Highway to Hell.

Please Note that for this event, Stalls will be standing.

Available to book online or by calling Lanark Memorial Hall on 01555 673199.

Cost: £28.00 (subject to £1.50 transaction fee)
