List of entertainment events at The OVO Hydro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rod Stewart officially inaugurated the arena on 30 September 2013 with an opening concert before performing a further three shows the following days. He was the first major act to take the new stage at The OVO Hydro.

The OVO Hydro (previously known as "SSE Hydro") has been the busiest entertainment venue in Glasgow and Scotland since its opening in 2013. Many local, regional and international artists have performed at the venue, spanning a wide range of musical genres. A list of notable concerts are given in the table below, with other non-concert entertainment events also included. All events are arranged in an chronological order.[1]

Entertainment events[]

2013–present[]

TV and award shows[]

Apart from entertainment events, the arena has also been a recording location for the musical competition The X Factor and hosted the MOBO Awards in 2013.[70] The BBC sports personality of the year was held at the venue in 2014 to coincide with Glasgow hosting the commonwealth games.

Festivals[]

In 2018, the Hydro became host of the Scotland leg of the C2C: Country to Country festival. The event, one of Europe's most popular country music festivals, takes place simultaneously in Glasgow, London and Dublin and features a host of successful American artists, many of whom are giving rare UK performances. In 2016 and 2017, the festival was hosted by the Clyde Auditorium. Little Big Town, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill and Kacey Musgraves headlined the event in 2018, while the 2019 edition will be headlined by Chris Stapleton, Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum, who previously played the Hydro as part of their You Look Good World Tour in 2017.

Notes[]

  1. ^ During the show at SSE Hydro, the lights came up with the encore performance of "Holiday" still left to be started. Madonna chose to continue performing the song with her dancers and asked the audience to join her in a sing-along. Representative of the venue reported that the power was cut off by Madonna's production team to avoid late fines
