Fur The Record

Fur The Record, or FtR, is a furry rave in Glasgow put on by FuRN, a collective of furry DJs and enthusiasts based in and around the city. Each edition is a themed afternoon-into-evening party with a line-up of DJs playing underground electronic music, plus a games corner, and recent editions have had a merch desk. Five editions ran between June 2024 and June 2026, and the organizers have promised more, but the next date and venue have not been announced.

What to Expect

FtR runs for about six hours, from the afternoon until 10pm, with back-to-back DJ sets. The FtR5 line-up ran from a mellow psych-folk opening act to closing sets of breakcore and hardcore. Every edition has its own theme and dress-up spirit; FtR5 was a seaside Beach Episode, and earlier parties were Kobold Katastrophe and Tune Town. Next to the dancefloor there is an area with retro consoles, TVs and couches.

Stewards, photographers and logistics crew wear colour-coded tops, and you can wear a no-photography wristband if you do not want to be photographed. The rules come down to peace, love, unity and respect: ask before photographing or touching people, keep your outfit covering your nether regions, and do not bring your own alcohol. The organizers describe the party as kink friendly. FtR also runs a raffle and a merch desk, and the money raised has gone to queer and trans support groups.

How to Get There

All five editions so far were held at The Flying Duck, 142 Renfield Street, Glasgow, a basement venue a short walk from Buchanan Bus Station and Cowcaddens subway station. FtR5 was the series' last party at the Flying Duck, so the next edition will be somewhere new. The new venue will be posted on the official site and Telegram channel once it is chosen.
