Couldn’t have been a better show if they tried. Would have liked to see two steps beside live but when love & hate collide was a nice unexpected one & they can’t play them all! Such a fantastic night! My throat is still sore from singing, promises might have tipped me over the edge on losing the vocals as it’s my favourite! Such a wonderful crowd as well, seen people try to pack in like sardines but not at def leppard it’s chilled & everyone is just having a good time in their own space singing along! I really hope they come back to Scotland would love another night like that! 💙🏴🎸
I absolutely love Ice Nine Kills and have seen them four times now, but I personally felt the sound mix was off at this show. There was so much reverb that the lyrics were often hard to make out, and the band overpowered Spencer’s vocals for most of the set. The moments with minimal backing were noticeably clearer, but even Spencer’s speaking between songs sounded muffled because of the excessive reverb. Their last show at the O2 was so crisp and perfectly balanced — I suppose I was spoilt by how good that one was.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet all the guys from Bloodywood before the show began and as usual they did not fail in any way to engage and bring the audience to their feet (and knees) once on stage. This is the 3rd time this year I have seen them and on every occasion they have been simply amazing! High energy, brilliant riffs and a load of fun. Can’t wait to see them all again in 2026!
Unbelievable what great night it was
The staff in the place where so helpful and love to us made us feel special in the place plus it was my birthday so we got upgraded to the vip lounge for food and drinks before started so I couldn’t be more grateful and happy with the way it went
Can’t wait for the next time when they come back in the future ☺️ x
I hadn't seen Bryan live for such a long time but did so in Glasgow on his Roll With the Punches tour. My first visit to the Hydro. You forget how many fantastic songs he has in his repertoire apart from the obvious ones from "Reckless" and, of course, the Robin Hood one, which he naturally did. Personal favourites are Back to You and Cuts Like a Knife, all performed by Bryan and guitarist Keith with fabulous kilts attired. They make a hell of a noise considering there are only four of them on stage and they were well received by the Glasgow audience, particularly when they did a great version of the Proclaimers' I'm Gonna Be. Really enjoyable.
It was fantastic to finally get to see the band, especially with Michael being in the line-up to give fantastic versions of all his songs. But I was more a fan of the earlier stuff, so was in my element when Tom belted out all the well-known classic numbers, particularly my favourite China Grove. Only thing was, I felt they should've had a break like other bands do when there is no support act. The show didn't seem to last long enough. But they were certainly most enjoyable. Nice touch by John McFee to wear his kilt in Jockoland..
It was nice to see Santana again, this time at the Hydro in Glasgow. I first saw them over 40 years ago when they played Wembley Stadium along with Bob Dylan. Carlos and the band played all my favourite tracks from their early albums like Evil Ways, Oye como va, and the subliminal Samba pa ti, which brought a tear to my eye, I have to tell you. Included in the set was a great version of Bob Marley's Exodus and even wee snippets of Ghost Town and While My Guitar Gently Weeps here and there. Fantastic band, especially the exceptional Cindy (his wife) on drums.
Ghost's performance was exceptional; the setlist was superb, and I highly recommend attending their show. To enhance the experience, phones were secured in pouches, creating a more immersive and memorable event. While entry to the SEC Hydro in Glasgow experienced some delays due to safety precautions, I understand the prioritization of safety. However, improved communication from staff regarding the delays would have been beneficial. Overall, the evening was a resounding success, resulting in cherished memories.
It was tremendous. The stage itself was a triumph. Lots of great background animation and it changed with every song. Teddy was engaging and chatty and genuine. He sang all the favourites and the background to Northern Lights was fabulous. He stopped talking and got help for someone in the standing section when he noticed they needed it. Support was Cian Ducrot and he was also brilliant. I had a great time.
Excellent concert, starting with Cian Ducrot as the supporting act, giving a great performance to warm up the crowd, followed by Teddy Swims himself, giving a stellar performance, including fan favourites such as The Door, Lose Control, 911, and Devil In A Dress, amongst a lot of others. Teddy Swims was on for about an hour and 45 minutes in total, going through two complete outfit changes at different points of the concert.
Definitely recommend seeing Mr Swims if there is a chance.
I will try to get tickets for his next visit, for sure.
Fantastic show, great support from Hamish Hawk.
With it being a Christmas show they upped the ante and had the red hot chili pipers on stage as they all played Mull of kintyre.
Scottish audiences are always great and this was no exception, a practically full house at the OVO got into the spirit and laughed, joked, danced, clapped, sung along with the as usually epic band, who played all their classics from their extensive catalogue culminating with the timeless why does it always rain on me. Will definitely be back at the hydro in the future, will hopefully catch Travis out on the road again before too long.
Great night, everyone loved it
The script where absolutely fantastic, and so where the staff but the venue area wasn’t the best, for I am a disabled woman, who uses a wheelchair and I could not access the disabled toilet because able bodied people where aloud to just use the accessible toilet and I could not get in, therefore I had to wait, when clearly it was people who where able to use the stairs or lift to get to the normal toilets
What an absolutely amazing gig! MammothWVH were fantastic, (truly amazing, by the way,) and one of their brilliant guitarists, Frank Sidoris, stayed on to play with SMKC. Slash's playing was outstanding, I mean, out of this universe outstanding,, Myles Kennedy was phenomenal, Todd Kerns was fabulous, moving all around the stage, both singing and playing, and Brent Fitz's energy knew no bounds. The genuine bond between these guys was abundantly clear and the atmosphere was fabulous. I couldn't stop grinning all night and I'll definitely go to see them the next time they grace Scotland with their presence.
Absolutely rockin!
Slash, Myles and the gang absolutely ROCKED Glasgow last night.
Rolling out banger after banger. Slash has accumulated a library of tracks that if he’d released them as part of G**s n Roses, the world would be falling over themselves to proclaim them as classics of the highest order, alongside tracks from Appetite for Destruction. But relatively few people seem to pay much attention. More fool them! And with Myles Kennedy’s absolutely glorious vocals and charm, it’s a joyful experience.
25/10!!!
I b****y loved it, it was remarkable, despite waiting till 20:15 since I went into the OVO at 18:30, thinking it would start right away, it was f***king amazing, I even got some cool merchandise at the end, it was absolutely brilliant and amazing. His performance of in the flesh, wish you were here, us and them, eclipse and sheep was the best bit of the concert in my opinion. Sadly didn’t go for the second day, wish I did.
Supporting act was amazing, post malone put his heart and sole into the performance and gave me an unforgettable night, just wish he came to glasgow more often, lights and special effects were awesome, staff were helpful finding seats, ordering drinks was a cool system (with the screen, wasnt much availability however and wasnt clear what stand was what for collection) security were helpful and helped you find the right entrance for sitting/standing, only issue I had was certain light panels came down it would block visibility of the main stage where postie sung a lot of his songs which was frustrating but it was only down for 3/4 songs, while waiting outside there wasnt much railing to form any sort of line so it was very congested so we ended up waiting on the grass till the line shrunk. But overall will definitely come back!
Excellent venue love the cure can't wait to see this band again in Glasgow last time in bellhousten Park was a better venue the security at the hydro are out of date some are like Sargent major old and think they can tell people what to do let people have fun get rid of older security please 🙏 the cure were at there best as always one song after another straight in to it no messing about the only bank like it we came to here music and none stop thank for a memorable night
I absolutely love Danny and I’ve been a fan since I was 13, in the very early 80s. I am originally from Los Angeles so I have only seen the Nightmare Before Christmas shows at the Hollywood Bowl where it’s AN EVENT! My husband isn’t a fan but he went to support me. I was SO excited, we bought VIP tickets and everything. Couldn’t wait to see the show in my adopted country and show my husband the energy behind the live show. Sadly both the crowd and the show were nothing at all like the LA shows. In LA everyone gets dressed up, it’s a big party and the most fun you can have in an evening. In Glasgow the VIP bar was poorly thrown together. We had to wait as a group to enter because it wasn’t even ready when people arrived. It was a waste of time. Big round tables with some black cloth thrown on them, overpriced drinks, no decorations or anything that made it feel “VIP bar”. It was sloppy, people looked really bored. It would have been better to just get drinks inside the venue. All very disorganized.
The show was hard to watch. I thought Scotland would show its energy, most people sat down like they were going to the theater or something, very little energy. The stage seemed far too small for the way Danny perform as well as the violinist, Sandy Cameron who is an energetic, exciting and vibrant musician. She looked cramped and unable to perform in her usual way. The usual encore to the show is a treat for Danny’s fans because he comes out with his guitar and does an old favorite for fans of his music but he only did a different rendition of a song from the movie that was already performed so it seemed a bit of an afterthought.
I LOVE Danny Elfman and wouldn’t miss a show in my area and I make sure I’m in LA every Halloween in case the live Nightmare Before Christmas show is going to be performed. I’m glad I went to the Glasgow show, but I’m not sure why other people bothered, they didn’t seem to understand the idea behind the live event...
She truly truly knows how to put on a performance. Having her be so raw and emotional whilst so powerful is genuinely so inspiring. Wish I could redo it all over again.
I loved when he talked to us and she would have these happy, awed smiles sometimes that made my night. Ashley, Glasgow and I love you and please enjoy your break and just have as much fun as possible ❤️❤️
Even from the very back of the third level you could feel the vibe and utter command that Slipknot had over the place. I don’t like sitting at gigs but Slipknot didn’t lack in fun. Couldn’t get standing tickets at all what with presales so a bit disappointed there. It would have been cool if they did more dates in Glasgow so you could get a chance at standing.
