Où est la musique?

Although very well hidden, there are countless venues across Scotland where people gather to enjoy the same harmonious thing: music. From more underground venues such as Sub Club in Glasgow to the well known walls of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, the variety of music played is limitless.

 
The O2 Academy has two venues in Glasgow, O2 ABC on Sauchiehall Street and the O2 Academy on Eglinton Street. Both of these venues play a variety of music from popular acts like Profressor Green (who is playing on Monday 23rd April!) to tribute bands like Guns 2 Roses. 

Tchai-Ovna is another popular music venue in Glasgow, especially amongst students and those who enjoy jazz and blues music. This is a unique location in Glasgow due to the chilled out vibe, the vegan food and over 80 variety of tea's which are available to try! The Arabian act of smoking tobacco through a shisha pipe is also available in this laid back venue.

Another well-known Glasgow music location is the Barrowlands (also known to the locals as 'the barras') can be found in the East End of Glasgow. This venue is definately a hit with bands due to its high ceilings and spectacular atmosphere where many of them return year after year. Brit Award winning band Oasis played a gig here back in 1994 when they were new to the music scene and have returned multiple times.The venue has also welcomed acts such as Ozzy Osbourne (1988),  Calvin Harris (2007) and Arctic Monkeys (2007).

This infamous Glasgwegian music venue definately isn't a stranger to some of the biggest acts in the music industry, Ofcourse I'm talking about King Tut's Wah Wah Hut! King Tut's is found by descending down a dodgy-looking stairwell from the side of the pavement on St Vincant Street in Glasgow's city centre. This basement venue has witnessed live music from The Killers, Razorlight, Kings of Leon, Oasis, Stereophonics, Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol, Eels, Kate Nash, The Verve....and the list goes on. Not only does it have nights dedicated to unknown and upcoming bands but it also has its own record label!

Keep a look out on all of these venues pages to see if there are any gigs you fancy going to!
