The nineties began with Glasgow being named as European City of Culture in 1990 and the release of Primal Scream's Screamadelica the following year which is considered to be one of the best albums which has come out of the city.

Plenty of new bands began to emerge from Glasgow's music scene with fresh sounds that instantly had people heading out to buy their music and buying tickets to see them at gigs.

Along the way, a few big hitters also stopped by to play some memorable gigs during the nineties with the likes of David Bowie performing at the Barrowland Ballroom, The Rolling Stones bringing their Urban Jungle tour to Hampden and Paul McCartney appearing at the SECC.
