Looking to catch a show at Glasgow's biggest music venue? Here are our top picks.
Dua Lipa
April 12
Fresh from her clean sweep at the BRIT Awards, Dua Lipa will be bringing her show to the SSE Hydro stage. Her last Glasgow gig was to a sold-out O2 Academy crowd, but she will be stepping it up a gear for an even bigger performance. If you don't catch her this month, the pop princess also managed to grab herself a spot opening for Bruno Mars at Glasgow Green in July.
Harry Styles
April 14
Making the most of One Direction’s hiatus, Harry Styles will be donning what is likely to be a very eye-catching suit and showing off what he can do. His debut album proved to a commercial and critical success and managed to bag him even more fans (if that was humanly possible). If you can handle screaming girls for at least two hours, this show won’t be one to miss.
Demi Lovato
June 13
Sorry, Not Sorry, Demi Lovato is a KWEEEEEEEEEN and will be belting out all her hits during her headline slot at the Hydro this June. From Skyscraper to Cool For the Summer, it’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster and we can’t wait.
Katy Perry
June 24
Will she have dancing puppets in the form of Theresa May and Donald Trump? Will one of her dancers fall off the stage? Will she hit out with any cringier dance moves than she did when she appeared on SNL with Migos? Who knows, but we’re looking forward to finding out.
Justin Timberlake
5 & 6 July
It's an American invasion in Glasgow this summer and it wouldn’t be complete without an appearance from the trouser snake JT himself. The boyband royalty and all-round banger producer has been known to put on a show and this set will be no different.
European Gymnastics Championships
August 2 - 12
As part of the European Championships, the SSE Hydro will be hosting gymnastics over a number of days. Glasgow 2018 is part of a brand new multi-sport event running between 2–12 August 2018 which will combine the existing European Championships for Aquatics, Cycling, Gymnastics, Rowing and Triathlon – plus a brand new Golf Team Championships – to create 11 days of exhilarating sporting action. At the same time Berlin will host the European Athletics Championships completing the line-up for the first edition of the European Championships.
Kevin Hart
August 28
Jumanji star and all round funny guy Kevin Hart will be bringing his stand up to Glasgow as part his The Irresponsible Tour. With his previous tours and memoir all available to the public, you might wonder if there is anything left to know about the pint sized comedian but I guess there’s only one way to find out.
October 4 - 28
Because OF COURSE Kevin Bridges is on the list and will be until the day we all die because he’s Kevin bloody Bridges. It’s just an added bonus the Glaswegian also happens to be really funny. With so many dates planned, there’s no excuse for you to miss this.
Noel Fitzpatrick is the Supervet
November 10
Do you love animals? Do you love Irish men? Do you love crying at the TV? Well, this show is the one for you. Learn all about how Noel became one of the leading voices on the future of veterinary medicine.
Star Wars Live
December 9
Star Wars fans will be able to enjoy their beloved films in a live symphonic concert experience as the film concert series debuts with A New Hope. Left in the capable hands of Oscar-winning composer John Williams, this is will be must see for any fan.
Travis
December 21
Are you even Scottish if you don’t have at least one memory of singing ‘Why Does it Always Rain on Me?’ - more than likely in a field at T in the Park. Travis will be playing their classic album ‘The Man Who’ in full on the Hydro stage, more than 18-years after it was released.
