Kelvingrove Bandstand
2024 is the 100th anniversary of the construction of Kelvingrove Bandstand and Amphitheatre. Established in 1924, this open-air amphitheatre has been a vibrant hub for community gatherings, musical performances, and various cultural events for nearly a century. After a period of disrepair, a significant restoration project in 2014, led by Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, revitalized the bandstand, preserving its heritage while equipping it with modern amenities, securing its future for the 21st century. Today, Kelvingrove Bandstand stands as a testament to Glasgow’s rich cultural legacy, continuing to host a diverse array of performances and events. This venue is a must see for locals and visitors to the city. Come and celebrate Glasgow’s historic Kelvingrove Bandstand and Amphitheatre in its anniversary year. Book a slot to hear more about the incredible history of the venue and get a chance to have your moment on the stage! There will be live music performances throughout the day, so pack a picnic, grab a rug and come and enjoy this much-loved Glasgow venue.
