Summer Nights at the Bandstand has returned to Glasgow for an eighth year with 13 nights of live music in the heart of the city’s West End at Kelvingrove Park.
Acts appearing at the 2,500 capacity bandstand in August include the likes of Glasgow bands Del Amitri, The Delgados and Glasvegas as well as Squeeze, Sugababes and the Saw Doctors. The crowd was blown away on the opening night as punk icon Siouxsie Sioux returned to the city for the first time in 15 years.
If you fancy making a day of it and getting over near to the park early, we have you covered with some of the best places to check out in the surrounding area which includes some of Glasgow’s favourite bars and restaurants.
