Kelvingrove Bandstand and Amphitheatre

This iconic open-air venue was restored to it’s impressive former glory in recent times and is set in the beautiful Kelvingrove Park, sitting between the stunning Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and Glasgow University. The venue features an art deco bandstand with outdoor, amphitheatre-style seating and plays host to a packed summer line-up of events.

The Kelvingrove Bandstand & Amphitheatre is steeped in history! Originally built in 1924,and the only authentic bandstand remaining in Glasgow. It had to shut in 1999 due to disrepair and became a shadow of it’s former self. Luckily, in 2012 plans were drawn up for it’s restoration and it re-opened in 2014 for the Commonwealth Games. It has both a unique and nostalgic vibe and you can just imagine what it was like in it’s heyday almost a century ago! Upcoming musical acts include an eclectic mix of Mac DeMarco on June
26th, Gun,Terrorvision & The Wildhearts on June 27th, and Dr.Hook on June 29th.
