Walking through the streets of Glasgow, the echo of bagpipes with the penetrating deep hum of a bass drum perfectly reflect the partly cloudy skies and the buzz of people busily making their way around town. Live music is everywhere in this historic Scottish city and we have provided you a guide to the best music places in Glasgow.
Live Music
Pubs, small music venues and large Glasgow venues are spread throughout the city. MacSorleys Music Bar is a truly Scottish pub. With welcoming staff and different genres of live music nightly, MacSorleys is a fantastic way to begin a musical journey in Glasgow.
For a more low-key musical fan, the Halt Bar and Mono are minimalistic and folk musically inclined venues. The 13th Note, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and Nice N Sleazy are all amazing bars/restaurants and Glasgow music venues that offer a huge variety of live music on a nightly basis.Òran Mór is another space for music, art, food and booze. Formally a church, this venue hosts a spectacular variety of performances of all types.
The SSE Hydro
Larger and more popular live music halls include the Royal Concert hall, hosting a long list of A list musicians, as well as the hotspot O2 ABC and the SSE Hydro. Glasgow’s music scene is very much alive with some of the best up and coming bands, as well as big names and huge tours.
