A borderline Breaking Boundaries show in Glasgow this evening, with Sofia Isella being listed as a rock act in some place, but "not the kind of rock that I know" according to one of our crew. So ideal fodder for us to spread our wings and find out why tickets for tonight's gig were going … Continue reading Gig Review: Sofia Isella / Seb Lowe – Academy, Glasgow (3rd June 2026)

Gig Review: Rick Astley / Gabrielle – Hydro, Glasgow (10th April 2026)
This one's Alan's fault as, like several other gigs recently, Rick Astley is someone he liked when he was little but was too little to go and see him. Now Alan's a big boy (with a knack for taking cracking pictures), he's catching up on his youth. I, on the other hand, simply never got round … Continue reading Gig Review: Rick Astley / Gabrielle – Hydro, Glasgow (10th April 2026)
Gig Review: MGK / Julia Wolf – OVO Hydro, Glasgow (8th March 2026)
Glasgow was literally on fire while MGK played this Sunday night! Supporting act Julia Wolf, a rising alt-pop artist, took to the stage just as the arena was already filling up. The best turnout for an opening act at the Hydro I've seen in a long time. Wolf appeared almost nervous on stage with almost … Continue reading Gig Review: MGK / Julia Wolf – OVO Hydro, Glasgow (8th March 2026)
Gig Review: Jordan Davis / Avery Anna / Solon Holt – Hydro, Glasgow (22nd February 2026)
Before I continue with this review, can I say a huge "thank you" to one of the behind-the-scenes folks? Jenny at the band's PR jumped through hoops to sort this one out for us and I'd like to take a moment to give our appreciation for everything! And on with the review... So, sure, this … Continue reading Gig Review: Jordan Davis / Avery Anna / Solon Holt – Hydro, Glasgow (22nd February 2026)
Gig Review: Alessi Rose / Déyyess – O2 Academy, Glasgow (2nd December 2025)
Pop Princess Magic. It is a specific vibe (one we're happy to dip our to into as part of our Breaking Boundaries initiative), and tonight the O2 Academy in Glasgow was absolutely drowning in it. First up to warm the crowd was Déyyess. For an opening act, the energy was palpable immediately. Delivering a set … Continue reading Gig Review: Alessi Rose / Déyyess – O2 Academy, Glasgow (2nd December 2025)
Gig Review: Kneecap / Miss Kaninna – OVO Hydro, Glasgow (30th November 2025)
It’s a cold Sunday night in Glasgow and the OVO Hydro is lit up green for a storming return of Kneecap. Normally Scotland gets the smallest show on any UK tour as the population density just doesn’t compare to the rest of the UK, but this time it has been turned on its head. Over … Continue reading Gig Review: Kneecap / Miss Kaninna – OVO Hydro, Glasgow (30th November 2025)
