Entertainment events
edit2013–present
editTV and award shows
editApart from entertainment events, the arena has also been a recording location for the musical competition The X Factor and hosted the MOBO Awards in 2013.[72] The BBC sports personality of the year was held at the venue in 2014 to coincide with Glasgow hosting the commonwealth games.
Festivals
editIn 2018, the Hydro became host of the Scotland leg of the C2C: Country to Country festival. The event, one of Europe's most popular country music festivals, takes place simultaneously in Glasgow, London and Dublin and features a host of successful American artists, many of whom are giving rare UK performances. In 2016 and 2017, the festival was hosted by the Clyde Auditorium. Little Big Town, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill and Kacey Musgraves headlined the event in 2018, while the 2019 edition will be headlined by Chris Stapleton, Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum, who previously played the Hydro as part of their You Look Good World Tour in 2017.
Notes
edit- ^ During the show at SSE Hydro, the lights came up with the encore performance of "Holiday" still left to be started. Madonna chose to continue performing the song with her dancers and asked the audience to join her in a sing-along. Representative of the venue reported that the power was cut off by Madonna's production team to avoid late fines
