Explore the best of the past and present of Glasgow's music scene with the Music Mile Tour
From the Royal Concert Hall to King Tut's via the Conservatoire, the Music Mile tour is a whistle-stop guide around Glasgow City Centre, an area teeming with music venues past and present.
Hear tales from the heyday of the late, lamented Apollo; check out the home of Celtic Connections and marvel at the many successful bands that started out at King Tut's.
Finishing at the famous venue, this tour includes the opportunity to follow in the early footsteps of Oasis, Blur, and the Manic Street Preachers. Depending on access, you may have the chance to stand under the lights at King Tut's and grab a selfie on the stage that helped launch so many great acts.
The Music Mile tour is a great way to see what makes Glasgow's music scene tick as you explore a city rich in both musical myths and scuzzy backroom stages where the next generation of guitar heroes are paying their dues.
