FAQs about Gig Venues in Glasgow
Do gig venues in Glasgow include equipment and sound systems?
Many gig venues in Glasgow have built-in sound and lighting systems, especially those designed for live music. Spaces like Òran Mór include professional-grade PA systems, staging, and lighting. However, some venues may require you to bring or hire additional equipment, so remember to confirm the details beforehand.
What types of gig venues can I hire in Glasgow?
Glasgow has various gig venues, from private music bars like The Hug and Pint to grand function halls like Glasgow University Union. You can also find club-style venues such as KONG, casino venues like Riverboat Casino, and stadiums like Hampden Park Stadium for large-scale events.
What's the best time to book a gig venue in Glasgow?
If you're looking for a prime Friday or Saturday night slot, book at least 3-6 months in advance—especially for larger venues. Midweek gigs tend to be easier (and often cheaper) to secure, so if you're flexible, you might snag a deal.
Do I need a license to host a gig in a rented Glasgow venue?
In most cases, the venue will already have the necessary licenses for live music and alcohol sales. If you're bringing your own sound system or hosting an all-ages event, check with the venue about any additional permissions required.
