There is no doubt that the two best locations in Glasgow to see live music is the Barrowlands and King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. Today we are going to focus on the latter, an amazing place to see events and to discover new and exciting music. King Tut’s does a little bit of everything, it has a great bar and cafe, it hosts incredible live music and depending on the group, showcases all manner of props from pyrotechnics to the occasional animatronic T-Rex dinosaur. During your time in Glasgow you simply have to catch a gig here, and this is why.

 

Place of Discovery

Whilst King Tut’s does play host to some of the best bands in Britain and Europe — and often beyond — it is best known for being a place of discovery. In fact this is the spot where bands like Ash, Echobelly, Garbage and Travis were first spotted, and even Oasis played here during their early days. If you see a gig and you don’t know who the band are, you have a very good chance of discovering something very special.

 

Glasgow Scene

No matter which city you are in around the world, there is a certain vibe which the crowd brings when there is a live band on, and Glasgow is no different. This is a city which genuinely appreciates live music and you so very rarely get any kind of negativity at a show. This is certainly something which you are going to experience once you hit King Tut’s, no matter what kind of act you are seeing.

 

Wide Variety

Some music venues around the country identify as rock or pop or reggae, but King Tut’s doesn’t close itself off like this, instead offering music from just about every genre imaginable. This means that no matter when you are there or what music you are in to, there is bound to be something which you can enjoy at this small yet very fun venue.

 

Pricing

We all know that venues have to raise prices of tickets and drinks from time to time, but King Tut’s has generally only done this when they have absolutely had to. This is why the venue is still one of the lowest cost music venues in the city and why you can be sure that a night out here really won’t hit you too hard in the pocket. When you consider that you can have a great and iconic experience without breaking the bank, it really does make visiting here a no-brainer.

There are certain places in and around Glasgow which have really helped to shape the culture of the city, and King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut is most certainly one of them. Make sure that you check out ticket options as soon as you know your dates for the Glasgow trip however, because this is a spot which is very popular and which sells out fast.
