O2 Academy Glasgow

Genuinly the BEST night of my life, seeing tlt after being a fan for over 8 years is a dream come true! I had upper balcony tickets but it was still awesome! I saw everything so clearly and I just had a blast, definitely going to try get vip next tour! The entire band was amazing, the singing from Sam and yoav, the guitar skills from Marcus, the bass skills from guy and the drums from Thomas they were all amazing!! The venue was great it didn't take much time to get to our seats and I got merch pretty quickly before heading to our seats!

A bit disappointing. We were in the front standing area and the sound was terrible - hardly any vocals, drowned out by over heavy guitars. Shame because I was looking forward to seeing them. The use of back and up lighting, along with too much smoke, meant that the visuals were not great at times. On the other hand, the support band "Faux Real" were probably one of the best support acts I've ever seen.

Absolutely AWESOME!!! I’ve seen Wet Leg 4 times over the past 3 years and they just keep getting better and better. I was instantly smitten by them in 2022 when I first heard the debut album and in my mind they are the best band to have appeared in the last 30 years. And I love the 02 Academy. Been to so many great gigs there. My favourite Glasgow venue since the days of the Apollo in the 1970s when I first started seeing bands.

I had a great time, the plot in you, Saosins, currents and cane hill, great. I had the best time. I mean the bands were 10/10! ❤️❤️ But I ended up leaving the concert with a head injury, and eye injury. My cousin with a black eye. We stayed away from the mosh pitts. And still ended up injured. There is no concert etiquette anymore. 7-8 people crowd surfing at the one time above mines and my sister head. And them falling on our head, because there is not enough people holding them. This is also banned from concert, but for some reason this venue (which i have been going to for 15 years for concerts) doesn't stop it from happening and people end up injured or traumatised from the concert. You buy concert tickets, for memories, experiences, for the love of the bands, not to be fighting for your life in the crowd. I bought these tickets for my sisters birthday as well. I have never had an experience like this in the 15 years of concert going. Stuards and security need to do more.

The Red Clay Strays were excellent they owned that stage from the moment they started until 2 whole hours later when they finished . They are truly awesome going from strength to strength among one of the best concerts of the year. Their encore must of been at least 5 songs . I didn’t want it to ever end. I can not wait for there return but it will have to be a bigger venue to accommodate the fans

Overall Midland put in a great performance but out of the 19 song set, 7 were covers. That’s too many for a band with a catalogue of albums they have. They only did one track from the new album which was disappointing.. it was the last gig of the tour and they may have had a little too much whiskey. The sound was not good either at the start, too much bass which drowned out the singer but the reminded that after a couple of songs. The atmosphere at the venue was great and everyone left smiling.

3rd time seeing Carly but 1st time at her own concert. The respect and adoration she received at C2C Gla 2024 said it all - so we purchased her tickets. Carly had a cold which was well documented on social media and whilst she sounded raspy whilst talking , it had NO impact on her singing (that I could tell anyway). She sang fabulously- just like a hummingbird! She also looked amazing in that pink dress and thigh high boots! The venue is good. Good selection of beers - if you check out the other bars - not all the same! Toilets for males are at the back (unlike the ladies) which is a wee pain - especially if it's a sellout...we saw many tickets going back on sale online in various outlets/social media but i can tell you it was packed! Possibly over-sold! Just like for Lainey, you could not move when trying to get to the bar & toilet to the point there were a couple of flare-ups. A great night out.

The staff were friendly and helpful. At first when I went to find the seat I’d paid for, the staff said to sit anywhere and if I wanted to find my seat and it was available I could take it. We didn’t and the seat was actually better. James bay was phenomenal and all of his songs were perfect, he is amazing artist and musician and had everyone out of their seats singing and dancing. Amazing show !!!

The only reason it gets 3 stars is the venue. The acoustics are awful. The poor support band may have been very good, but they sounded dreadful in there, too. It felt like all find and base, you couldn't make out any tune. We still loved the songs, and the show was good entertainment. Please, guys, pick another venue for the next one. There's not so many at the shows as there could have been because no one loves bad acoustics, and the o2 in Glasgow is notorious for it! If the venue was one of the better ones in Glasgow, it would've been 5+ stars.

It was my first metal gig... At 61 and an avid concert goer I have never been to a metal gig... OMG this wasn't just a gig this was an AWESOME experience... From start to finish The Hu had the crowd in the palm of their hands... I headbanged all night along with the rest... We had a mosh pit and a conga line going... The band were on fire... I would go back to see them in a heartbeat...

Amazing gig however far too many people on the standing area. I couldn’t lift my arms to clap due to being wedged so close and was pressed against the bannister behind me the entire night which was very uncomfortable. Also there were way too many people who were seriously drunk and/or drugged and were always on the verge of a fight. Regardless of that Kip Moore and his band were spectacular and I thoroughly enjoyed their performance despite being uncomfortable all night.

The show was absolutely outstanding , everything was perfect from the venue, the security and staff and Joe and the band were on fire especially Satriani. My only gripe is Satriani could have been a bit more fan friendly at the end of the show as a hand full of fans waited patiently to meet him and we got blanked. None the less I got superb value for money and it was worth the 3 year wait.

Gig was far over what I expected. After the Rap of the Titans experience, I expected a classical Rap music gig which might even be sadder when Truy the Dove passed away. Even when De La came on the stage, there was no Maze, so I realised only 1/3 of De La arrived, which was a little disappointing. But when I saw the Live band coming on the stage and Mos Def joined the whole crew, I got absolutely astonished by what I saw and heard. A real celebration of over 34 years of the De La Soul band and a great celebration of 50 years of Hip-Hop. Once more and forever, love to Trugoy the Dove and all De La band.

Concert was outstanding, Daughtry rocks, and if I could I would’ve been at the remaining concerts of the UK tour. Only issue I had was accessibility. I walk with 2 crutches as I can’t walk or stand for long and I had to painfully go up and down stairs to the seating area and more stairs for the toilet. Also, I didn’t get the chance to go to the merchandise stall, I would’ve loved a tour t-shirt.

First of all the O2 Academy Glasgow is not the best for punters! Cram as many people in, charge ridiculous money for drinks and don't offer decent toilet facilities for 2000 punters. Enough said! Now the review...WASP were fantastic. Blackie, Doug, Mike and Aquiles are amazing. Blackie's voice is still the best ever. Supported by his incredible band, the music of WASP is superb. Everyone who see and hear WASP know they have witnessed something very special. Long live W.A.S.P.

Brett Young was great however act previous to him you couldn’t actually make out what she was singing it was as if the band was much louder than the artist. The 02 venue is not well laid out for toilets etc trying to push through to get to a bathroom when it was packed was not fun not to mention people going in and out the fire exit constantly then security saying no then they were allowed it was constant all night ruined the experience a bit but the actual person we paid to see was great the rest not so much.

The band was sensational. The overall sound was electrifying from start to finish. Derek's tone and expressiveness are unmatched. Susan's voice is sublime. Mike Mattison absolutely rocked too on the songs he led. Every member of the band, in fact, is a virtuoso and it was wonderful to see the backing singers and instrumentalists get their moments to shine too. A stunning two hours of the highest quality live performances you could hope to experience from a band who were as tight as they were creative and energised. It was an honour and privilege to be in the room. But I'm still going to complain. The band took the stage at 8pm, with no support act preceding them, a trend that's becoming increasingly prevalent at gigs these days. Still it caught me out and I missed the first 20 minutes of the gig. The venue had oversold the balcony tickets and I didn't get the seat I'd paid for. I'm getting too old to stand for 2 and a half hours (the band took a 30 minute intermission) and was looking forward to enjoying the gig in a seat. Lastly, the band refused to play Midnight in Harlem, despite the crowd pleading for it throughout the gig. That seemed churlish given that they might not be back in Scotland any time soon and the audience clearly wanted to have the opportunity to hear that iconic song live. I was certainly very excited about that prospect. There should have been nothing but elation in the air walking out at the end of a set from such outstanding musicians. Denying us our chance to hear that timeless song live created an unnecessary feeling of confusion and disappointment. Still can't fathom why they did that.

Outstanding show, daughters 3rd gig, 1st in standing area for full immersion. Needless to say she/they sang their heart out and felt every emotion. I had to stand a bit away 🙂 as I was " in her space". I stood within radar distance to let her enjoy fully and looked over at one point to see my baby girl had become her own young adult with her own personality and identity , and given the occasion, the company of the crowd and the unabashed openness of the emotions, I cried a little with happiness. Good truthful music performed and shared will touch you like that and allow emotions to come forth. For that I thank LP, the band and the crowd. It was a fantastic show, the crowd knew every word and sang loudly and LP fed off the crowd who fed off her. After show she took time at the stagedoor for photos, signing and chatting and made an already memorable night a treasured memory. My Morgan got her shirt and an autograph along with a photo, I think it is safe to say an 11yr olds night/year,life was made. I've seen a lot of gigs in my 40yrs of going,across most genres but I've never seen the genuine love you have for your fans,they/we ,genuinely love you and its glaringly obvious its returned. Anyway from a father, thank you for the music and sharing and an infinite heartfelt thank you for what you gave my child. Hurry back x

Thoroughly enjoyed the show, from beginning to end. I'm a wheelchair user and had a reserved space for myself and the person wth me. We had a great view and a great night. Not only that, I was amazed at how fantastic the staff at o2 Academy Glasgow were. From the moment I got wheeled out of the taxi, they were there to help. Nothing was a problem to them and they were all really friendly. One of them even came to check that I was getting on ok with my taxi booking home, offering to get me across the road if it made access to the taxi easier. Thank you, Michael Kiwanuka, his backing singers and band,his support acts and the o2 Academy staff.

The show was excellent as Fish gigs always are. The only thing that spoiled it was that my hip went and I didn't have my walking sticks with me' Luckily, a member of the o2 staff helped me up to the disabled area with my wife and even carried my beer for me so 10/10 for the staff. We settled down to watch the rest of the gig from the balcony which was a bit further away than I'm used to but on the upside I turned around from my seat and Fish's Wife Simone was sitting there and she couldn't have been nicer. All in all a great performance by Fish and the crew and one I will never forget. Thanks Fish, you made my Wife and I very happy and I made a few new friends while I was there. Finally I would like to thank the o2 staff for all their help and understanding.
