Rod Stewart live in Glasgow — 29 April 2027 at the OVO Hydro

On Thursday, 29 April 2027, Rod Stewart plays the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. The evening is part of „The Final Encore“, the tour with which Stewart takes his leave of large-scale touring after more than 60 years on stage. Two days after Belfast, Glasgow is the Scottish stop, with Howard Jones as support. The tour then moves on to Birmingham, Manchester and London.

The Thursday date

A Thursday concert makes a good start to a long weekend: arrive on Wednesday or Thursday and head home on Friday, or stay on until Sunday. Edinburgh is around an hour away by train if you want to make more of the trip. For a shorter visit, two nights keep the concert evening free of time pressure.

The OVO Hydro

The OVO Hydro opened in 2013 and is part of the Scottish Event Campus on the north bank of the Clyde, right next to the distinctive SEC Armadillo. For concerts it holds up to around 14,000 people. The tiers rise steeply around the floor, so even seats on the upper levels give a good view of the stage.

Our travel package for Glasgow

Ticket and hotel from a single source — one booking, one contact, one invoice, with travel on request.

There are several hotels on the event campus itself and in neighbouring Finnieston within walking distance of the arena — a real advantage after a long evening.

Getting to the OVO Hydro

Exhibition Centre station is a few minutes' walk from the arena and only a few minutes by train from Glasgow Central. From the city centre it is roughly a 25 to 30-minute walk. Staying at the event campus or in Finnieston means no train or taxi is needed after the show.

How to get tickets

The fan club presale starts on Tuesday, 29 September 2026. General sale for the UK dates opens on Friday, 2 October 2026, at 10:00 BST. If a seated ticket matters to you, be ready when sales open.
