Asked about the venue
About Kelvingrove Bandstand
What time do the bands come on at Kelvingrove Bandstand?
Gates open at 6.30pm, every single night. Glasgow Life prints the same door time on every show of the Summer Nights at the Bandstand season — "Gates for Summer Nights at the Bandstand open each night at 6.30pm". What it does not print is stage times: the running order is support first and headliner last, but the exact minute is never published in advance.
How many people does Kelvingrove Bandstand hold?
Over 2,000. Glasgow Life, which runs the venue, describes the bandstand and amphitheatre as able to "hold over 2,000 people" — an open-air room closer in size to a big club than to the arenas most of its Summer Nights headliners usually play.
