Has anyone ever been to a gig here? Is the front-of-stage area a free-for-all or is it ticketed? VIP? Curious to know, not that it'd particularly affect whether we come or not. Cheers for any local assistance and knowhow

Twice, for Siouxsie and the Bunnymen, rained both times. But they say the third time is the charm.
The standing area is indeed a "free for all".
Now come on, you know you and Charlie want to.

Kelvingrove Hotel is booked, count us in

Yayy...see you there
Ruffers has promised to bring some nice weather from Leeds....so you must too

We'll try, but we'll maybe hedge our bets and bring some umbrellas too

I'm very much looking forward to it, it'll be a fine change from the usual indoor venue vibes I'm used to with The Sisters. Suikerrock 2008 was the last time I saw them under the sky, that seems a few lifetimes ago now.

Couldnt decide on whether to book or not, having got soaked when Siouxsie played there, but well thats what skin is for. Ticket booked. Roll on August.

Hello @pjn19 & welcome to

Same thoughts here. I know Gothicbiff saw Siouxsie there.... and it rained.

Our resolves lasted minutes

You can get good quality black ponchos on Amazon pretty cheap. They fold up tiny and are good enough for staying dry when hiking in Nepal. Just an idea

They may be good enough for staying dry when hiking in Nepal, but this is Scotland in August we're talking about ...

I lived in Glasgow for 22 years...I think it pished down nearly every summer I lived there.....I remember one day in the middle of July, I was meeting HL legend James Blaast for a couple of afternoon libations (well, more than a couple), and as we sat in the sheltered part of a beer garden in a local pub it pished down so much, Blaast's taxi home had to wait for him about two streets away on account that there was flash flooding all around the pub.....in July..
I'm not gonna be surprised if its bucketing down this August!!!
