Sauchiehall Street has always been a stage — from grand theatres to intimate gig venues and indie screens, it’s where Glasgow gathers to be entertained.

From grand theatres to intimate gig venues and independent cinemas, Sauchiehall Street has long been a stage for Glasgow’s love of performance. The King’s Theatre and Pavilion Theatre bring world-class productions to the city, while the Glasgow Film Theatre and Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) showcase independent film and experimental work.

Glasgow is a UNESCO City of Music and its musical heritage is rooted in the District. Sauchiehall Street has inspired music and lyrics from Spandau Ballet to corto.alto. Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is home to internationally renowned music festival Celtic Connections and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO). Smaller more intimate gigs take place in Nice N Sleazy or The Garage and the talent of musicians at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland can be experienced in a lunchtime concert.

Day or night Sauchiehall Street guarantees entertainment. Check what’s on during your visit —there’s always a show waiting for you.
