Glasvegas To Rock Glasgow!

It is no secret that when some bands make that leap from clubs and theatres to main stages and arenas - there is no turning back. 



Maybe it's because they have kept their Glaswegian feet firmly on the ground or that they want to test drive new material on a smaller scale or simply when lead singer James Allan went missing a few months ago - he's lost it. Whatever the reason, be thankful. Glasvegas are playing the humble Classic Grand on April 5th. 


I am over the moon about this upcoming gig but I must say, it is rather surprising. This is a band who have toured the world over - Australia, China, America...Paisley, you name it. They have packed arenas everywhere and even opened for Kings of Leon and U2 on their UK arena/stadium tours; it's hard to get bigger than that.

550...yes. 550 is the capacity of Glasgow's Classic Grand music hall. This is genuinely as intimate as it gets - unless you manage to get a winch whilst they're on stage. 


As exciting as this all sounds, from where Glasvegas's career bagan to where they are now  plus the status they have earned, this gig may seem rather claustrophobic. 

I have been lucky enough to see Glasvegas live a few years ago at T in The Park and I have to say they were absolutely fantastic. I'm sure if they managed to handle a 90,000 plus steamin' Scottish rain soaked crowd, dancing in four feet of mud, they will have no problem at Classic Grand.

Trust me Glasgow, this one is going to be a cracker.
