Nights out in Glasgow

With internationally renowned performers playing every week, Glasgow offers entertainment unrivalled by many of Europe's cosmopolitan cities. A vibrant city of excitement and entertainment, Glasgow boasts a selection of venues that regularly welcome performers of all genres of entertainment.

Main stream acts popular with younger generations often choose the south side's state-of-the-art Carling Academy boasting a capacity of 2,500. It has hosted the largest names in contemporary Rock, R n' B, Rap and Hip Hop music.

The Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) is the largest of its kind in the UK and one of only four integrated conference centres in Europe capable of accommodating over 3,000 visitors. It has hosted most of the world's top performers, accommodating audiences of up to 10,000 people.

Despite a modest capacity of 1,900 (standing), Glasgow Barrowlands boasts a world famous atmosphere that creates a real connection between the performer and audience. So much so, that many choose it over some of the city's larger venues. Legends to have played the famous old ballroom include Def Leppard, U2, Eminem, Bob Dylan, REM, the Rolling Stones, INXS and many, many more.
