Things to do in Glasgow this weekend
A standard Glasgow weekend has more live-music options than most visitors can fit into three nights. From Friday tea-time the city splits across four corridors.
Down at the SEC Campus in Finnieston, the OVO Hydro and the SEC Armadillo run their headline arena and theatre dates, with the surrounding Finnieston food strip on Argyle Street booked solid from six. East at the Barrowlands on the Gallowgate, the 1,900-cap ballroom commonly sells out the Friday and Saturday slots months in advance, and the Saracen Head pub next door and the Calton bar rotation pull the pre- and post-gig crowd.
In the West End, King Tut's on St Vincent Street and the cluster of rooms in Kelvinbridge and Hillhead — Oran Mor in the converted church on Byres Road, Cottiers up by Kelvinside, the Hug and Pint, Stereo, Nice N Sleazy — run indie, folk and singer-songwriter bills back to back. Through the City Centre, the Royal Concert Hall on Buchanan Street hosts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra on Saturday evenings during the season, the Theatre Royal on Hope Street runs Scottish Opera and touring drama, and the King's Theatre on Bath Street covers musicals and pantomime.
Add a Celtic home game at Parkhead or a Rangers fixture at Ibrox and the East End or South Side absorbs an extra 50,000 people on a Saturday afternoon. Sundays soften — matinees, brunch jazz at Sloans in the Merchant City, traditional-music sessions in the West End — but Friday and Saturday in Glasgow are as loud as any weekend in the UK.
