O2 Glasgow Reviews

drinks are expensive..
but a nice location!

My first visit great place for more intermediate gigs close to the stage and bands. Great bar must visit more than the larger places.

Went to see rob zombie, great live show but venue thought was very cramped and people keep banging past us with drinks and trying to get closer to the stage, I don't drink so only had soft drink that was flat and over priced. T shirts were More

How many tickets over capacity did you sell for the Clutch gig on Monday? We got my 75 year old nana seated balcony tickets only to be told when we arived thay it was already full? How can that be if our tickets where for the balcony? She was then sent into the crowded arena where she felt so crushed and unsafe the she didn't even make it half wat through the gig. Then to top it all off when my dad complained to staff he was kicked out of the gig for causing trouble! Or was that just to get reduce numbers to get you back down to within fire regulation levels? Sham of a venue that won't be receiving another penny of our money.

Great concert tonight. The O2 always feels like you're in an older era, the only thing missing being smoke. It's an intimate venue and we were up close to the stage

At the Gatsby night for my birthday what an amazing time I'm having, the entertainment is outstanding. The best night out I've had in year's, I highly recommend going to see this it's outstanding.

Great space for a gig. The sound could be better but the atmosphere and layout are top notch.

Amazing venue. Big enough for an atmosphere. Small enough to be intimate.

This place was OK. Not the best and not the worst. We went to see Jessie J here and I don't know if it's due to where we were standing or if it was just the sound set up but we could barely make out any of the words and even when she was More

There for the Chris Young gig it was great I'm of an age now where I prefer seating to standing , the venue was really good . I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

It's all about the gig really - a bit shabby, acoustics are a bit dodgy for loud pa, drinks are expensive and feels just like what it is, an old theatre with the seats ripped out. But like the Barrowlands, who cares if it's a decent gig. More character than those "modern" venues, like the hydro.

Pretty close to City centre. Easy to get to. Good venue, great sound and the Pixies were excellent.

Great little venue, well organised events, great sound

Recent visit to see Iron & Wine with the amazing Kathryn Joseph as support.
Great atmosphere and very close to tube stop so very accessible. Brilliant night!

First time being there and it was really good. The only bad thing was that the dance floor was sticky but the staff was helpful, friendly and nice. Thanks

Papa roach at my favourite venue the O2 is up close and personal.

Took 30 minutes to get a round of drinks. There was a toilet man who had disabled the drier so he could hand out paper towels and mints. His repetition of the phrase 'No splash no gash' was neither amusing nor tasteful.

There's only one Ladies toilet in the main theatre ground floor which meant there was a constant stream of women squeezing their way through a busy crowd in an attempt to make a visitation.

Acoustics were ok, band (The Wombats) made up for everything else.

Good venue,easy to get to ,only a10 minute walk from Queen Street station even less from Central station.Subway is less than a minute from venue.

Jack you were amazing..
Perfect

Had a gr8 night when I was at the ttf in 2016 roll on until the next 1

A wee bit run down but once the show starts you dont notice....warm comfortable and decent view of stage what more can you ask for

Beautiful venue if you get a chance to go here for an event it will add to it.

Just brilliant the atmosphere created by bohemian rhapsody was fantastic

Just love this place and Plan B just blew me away! Great views from the standing Balcony areas upstairs. Bar service can be a little slow and also drinks prices a bit above average but still a great Gig venue.

Good live venue with plenty of bars so no big ques for beers only fault is it could do with air conditioning as it's like an oven during the summer

Legroom in the seating area is not great if you're tall but it's a good venue ,

Ladies toilets are terrible but fab place for a gig

Always good for a gig, qued for near an hr tho in the pushing rain this time

Fine when they dont run out of mixers or other drink.

Just seen the best band in the world The Stranglers at the 02 Academy Glasgow

Too warm, toilets stink. Fell down stairs as no one had cleaned a splillage

Awesome venue! Ladies toilets right next to the stage great sounds and not too bad on prices. Also staff are lovely and helpful!

Can't praise the staff enough for the care they showed me. I have disability issues and was allowed in before the main crowd and escorted to my seat. This was with prior arrangement. After the show, care was still given outside the venue while waiting for my lift. Great visibility of the stage, great concert, but the seats were incredibly uncomfortable. I would go again though. Thank you kind staff.

great venue and atmosphere, acoustics very good, front balcony was the perfect view of the CULT

Apparently certain areas standing upstairs are private and reserved despite there being absolutely no signs or staff to tell you so. We got told to move half an hour after the main band started! Throughout the whole gig us and the other folk around us were just constantly harassed by the staff

Great venue, the age of the building seems to add to the charm.

Gets many great live acts and is a good size. However, the sound quality is variable and many a gig has been ruined by awful audio. Also, bar prices are high and they rip bands off with merchandise sales.

Great music venue. Easy to get to. Close to central Glasgow.

OK so this is my least liked of all the Glasgow venues so here goes-
I resent being padded down for an airport like body search. Do they actually have the right to do That?
So into the venue for Sari Schorr. First time I have heard her and she has an amazing voice but the sound was indistinct and difficult to make out the lyrics plus you could hardly hear Ashes guitar. The balance was all wrong and her voice was reverberating and bouncing round the place. Be good to hear
her in Oran Mor in March.
So to King King. The sound was now spot on thankfully and big Alan with his infectious smile and beautiful guitar and the rest of the band were at their best.
I decided not to drink as the limited selection is overpriced.
Sadly with the demise of the ABC more acts will no doubt be diverted here but I think I will not bother going there again. Just not a great experience.
Got to thank the young man who found a seat for my partner. One plus.

Gig was outstanding place ruff and ready staff great

Good views from pretty much anywhere. If you are with O2 you can also get queue jump, free cloakroom and 2-for-1 soft drinks with the priority app, which is a nice bonus. However, the ladies bathrooms are almost always in a pretty poor state, even at the start of the night.

Spacious and safe. However, very old, seating not as advertised and unhelpful staff.

Wasn't a great place to see a live act. The atmosphere wasn't great even though the concert was. Toilets were stinking and staff weren't sure where a lot was when they were asked

Big venue, security are a bit horrible though. First time visiting Glasgow so to be treated like that was a disappointment

Perfect for a personal concert feel but big enough to get major artists

Worst gig venue in Glasgow. Hate how bands I like keep playing there.

Amazing gig but the place looks very worn and run down. Had to que down a street and across roads to get in. Could do with a decent refurb.

Great venue, drinks could be cheaper and having their card readers working too
