Glasgow's live-music scene punches well above its weight, from intimate indie venues to the cavernous OVO Hydro hosting major tours. A weekend here means catching gigs most other UK cities can't, whether you're after underground acts in the Merchant City or arena headliners. Budget airlines keep flights reasonable from London and the southeast, making short breaks viable without breaking the bank.
