Upcoming gigs in Glasgow this year.


AUGUST

ONLY THE POETS
22-Aug-24 St Lukes
Only The Poets, comprising of Tommy Longhurst, bassist Andy "Roo" Burge, guitarist Clem Cherry and drummer Marcus Yates, have established themselves in just a few short years as one of the UKs biggest emerging live acts. Unsigned until the start of 2023, the bands DIY ethos saw them build things from the ground up, from playing student house parties, pub circuits and small venues to selling out 1,600-capacity venues in the UK and across Europe last year. 2024 has already seen the band kick off a massive run of 22 European shows and in June the band will play a string of venues before joining Yungblud on his European shows this Summer alongside a support slot for Tom Grennan in August.

SEPTEMBER

HAMISH HAWK
1-Sep-24 Assai @ St Lukes (outstore show)
Edinburghs Hamish Hawk returned in April with the welcome news that a new album A Firmer Hand is to land August 16th on So Recordings. Rich of voice and even richer of imagination, Hawk creates musical pen-portraits, chamber pop songs that have swallowed both a dictionary and a compendium of modern urban (and island) fairy tales. And Hawk does all this with considerable wit, inspired by artists like Leonard Cohen, Jarvis Cocker, Randy Newman and Stephin Merritt of Magnetic Fields. Hamish Hawk will be playing a number of dates across the year in support of the new record including a recently announced support for Elbow in the summer. He will also be playing an extensive set of instore and outstore performances in the run-up to release.

GOSSIP
3-Sep-24 SWG3

Beloved, pop/indie-rock trio Gossip returned this year with Real Power, their first album in 11 years. The album marked a reunion with acclaimed producer Rick Rubin, who helmed the bands pivotal 2009 album Music For Men. A multi-Platinum selling band, Gossip have sold over 10 million records worldwide and are one of Indie Rocks most exciting acts from the early 21st century. Having been at the heart of the indie sleaze movement, Gossips ground-breaking legacy is about to be brought to the forefront once again. It feels like the perfect moment for these straight-talking rebel rousing icons to reunite at a time when the political, cultural, gender and sexuality issues that fired and inspired Gossips anthems are so much a part of the zeitgeist.

JONAS BROTHERS
13-Sep-24 OVO Hydro

Standing out as one of the most successful groups of the 21st century, New Jersey-born brothers - Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas - have sold north of 20 million albums and counting, garnered two GRAMMY Award nominations, earned 25 Billboard Hot 100 hits, logged three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200, and generated billions of streams. Following arguably the comeback of the decade and the biggest season of their career with 2019s Happiness Begins and its ensuing tour, Jonas Brothers swung for the fences on their 2023 full-length LP, The Album. The GRAMMY Award-nominated powerhouse trio crafted skyscraping anthems with widescreen scope, wild personality, and palpable intimacy, and are set to take this album on tour this autumn.

THE LAFONTAINES
13-Sep-24 Barrowland
Fifteen years since their inception in Motherwell Scotland, Kerr Okan (vocals), Jamie Keenan (drums, vocals) and Darren McCaughey (guitars, production) have long held a unique space within the UK music scene with The LaFontaines sound as instantly recognisable as singer Kerrs vocals. The bands personality, charm and charisma coupled with their unrivalled unique offering has earned them a dedicated, loyal fanbase who identify with the band through more than just the music. Connecting with their live audiences on a level that most acts never achieve, their live shows are their superpower.

ANOTHER SKY
18-Sep-24 King Tuts

With the release of their sophomore album Beach Day this past March and a run of UK shows across the country this Autumn, 2024 has proved to be a powerful year for Another Sky. The Times claimed Beach Day to be "an artistic triumph rising from the ashes of personal disaster", with DIY Magazine giving the album a 4.5 star review professing it as "a fearless beauty". The band built a personal crypt-based studio from scratch to create this album, with help from guitarist Jack Gilberts builder Dad, where Gilbert produced much of the album himself ? costing less and giving the band infinitely more freedom to take back control of their own narrative. Another Sky are steadfast and galvanised to make you understand everything that got them here. How they survived. All you have to do is listen.

THE LAST DINNER PARTY
20-Sep-24 O2 Academy

At the turn of 2024, The Last Dinner Party had won themselves their first BRIT with the Rising Star award, and voted BBC Radio 1s Sound of 2024. They are now spending much of it joining dots from city to city on a road map across the globe, since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album Prelude To Ecstasy. It has certainly been a whirlwind twelve months for the London based band, and after a summer full of exciting festival appearances, the band will be playing a stint across the country in the fall. Prelude To Ecstasy is both the closing of that introductory chapter and the opening of the next. The Last Dinner Party? Believe the hype.

KAETO
20-Sep-24 O2 Academy (supporting The Last Dinner Party)

The emerging London-based artist is fast carving a space for herself with her unique genre-spanning sound that blends elements of trip-hop, dance and electronic music with punk, alt-pop and more. KAETO first attracted attention with her startling debut Good Morning. After signing with Polydor last summer, she released No Body, which i-D declared "the most commanding artist statement weve heard all year". Following it up with several other hypnotic singles, she continues to carve her own niche. KAETO has been captivating audiences with her mesmerising live performances, opening as special guest for Haim, Eliza and Bleachers, and will now be supporting The Last Dinner Party on their UK tour in October.

BECKY HILL
12-Oct-24 OVO Hydro

Shortly after earning her third consecutive BRIT Award nomination for Best Dance Act, Becky Hill announced her eagerly anticipated second album Believe Me Now? that was released this May via Polydor Records/Eko Records. Becky Hill has certainly cemented her status as one of dance musics biggest influential voices and the genres leading boundary-breaking female artist. Its impossible to deny that status for the two-time BRIT Award winning artist who will be playing a huge UK and Ireland arena headline tour, and who has exceeded 10 billion career streams to date plus six UK Top 10 smash hits. Believe Me Now? is Beckys most authentic, career defining body of work to date. An album which sees her digging even deeper into her life-long passion for underground dance music and club culture.

THE LIBERTINES
18-Oct-24 Barrowland

The last gang in town The Libertines, who released their hotly anticipated new album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade on April 5th, have announced a UK & Irish tour commencing in Dublin on 23rd September and taking in two shows at The Roundhouse in London and culminating at Bournemouth O2 Academy on the 17th November. The Libertines once-seen-never-forgotten live shows are here to save humanity from holograms, virtual reality and AI auto-tunIing, so switch off your pocket-held marketing machine and come and experience raw analogue euphoria at the hands of these delirious musical chaos-mongers. The Libertines are Peter Doherty ? vocals/guitar, Carl Bar?t ? vocals/guitar, John Hassall ? bass guitar and Gary Powell? drums. The band have released three prior albums: Up The Bracket (2002); The Libertines (2004); and Anthems For Doomed Youth (2015).

THE MYSTERINES
20-Oct-24 St Lukes
Formed in Liverpool, The Mysterines ? frontwoman Lia Metcalfe, drummer Paul Crilly, bassist George Favager and guitarist Callum Thompson ? have undergone a radical transformation over the past few years. Fresh with new purpose and reinvigorated from songwriting sessions while secluded away in the countryside (in between playing to 60,000-strong crowds while on tour with the Arctic Monkeys), the band have now just released the best music of their career with their album Afraid of Tomorrows. The band will play a string of exciting shows this summer, including at Crystal Palace Park as special guests to Bloc Party for their huge 20th anniversary show on 7th July, and numerous festivals all over the UK and Europe including Live at Leeds in the Park, 2000 Trees, Truck Festival, Tramlines and Best Kept Secret.

BIG SPECIAL
21-Oct-24 Barrowland Ballroom (with John Grant)

The Black Country duo BIG SPECIAL are set for a run of shows following the release of their highly-anticipated debut album POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES released this past May via SO Recordings. For BIG SPECIAL - Joe Hicklin (vocals) and Callum Moloney (drums) - their sound is one that comes from vital, frustrated young working-class voices that dont always get heard on the scale they should do. Its a frustration that comes to the fore through a voice that is at times coarse and raw, but sensitive, desperate and soulful at others. Their new music has arrived in the wake of a sold-out winter UK headline tour, multiple playlisted singles on BBC 6 Music, and their presence as a hotly-tipped prospect for 2024 in a number of Ones To Watch lists.

PAUL WELLER
28-Oct-24 Barrowland
29-Oct-24 Barrowland

In the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary music, few artists possess the enduring influence and innovative spirit of Paul Weller. A recording career that began in 1977 now took in the release of his 17th solo album and his 28th in total, with his recent release of 66. 66 is quite a reflective and inward thinking album that pulls back the camera lens and shines a light on the way Wellers creativity interacts with his wider world. His upcoming 17-date stint throughout October and November sees Paul and his band gracing stages right across the country. With a career spanning 5 decades and an extensive and eclectic catalogue of songs to delve into, expect to hear new tracks from Pauls album 66 along with deep cuts from his back catalogue and fan favourites.

Remi has just finished a run thrilling audiences in sold-out arenas across the UK and Europe on Olivia Rodrigos GUTS World Tour, and has performed all over the world whether it be at festivals from Coachella to Lollapalooza, selling out tours across countries, or opening for artists like Lorde, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Paramore.
