Summer Nights shows at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Bandstand postponed until 2021

A series of shows at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Bandstand have been rescheduled for next year.

The popular Summer Nights events, due to take place in July and August, have been pushed back to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Organisers Regular Music said that almost all of the line-up for this year’s concert series have already committed to playing in 2021 instead.

Suzanne Vega, Belinda Carlisle, Rufus Wainwright, Van Morrison, KT Tunstall, Rick Astley, Richard Hawley, Primal Scream, King Creosote, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Edwyn Collins and Altered Images will all perform next year.

Mark Mackie, director of Regular Music, said: “Ever since it became apparent that we would not be able to stage our annual Summer Nights concert series at Kelvingrove Bandstand, we have been working away to reschedule the concerts.

“Amazingly, all of the artists want to come next year and most have already been able to confirm their shows, with only one still working on their schedules to be with us. The new shows will all be on their equivalent dates next summer.

“We’re grateful to both the artists, many of whom went out of their way to make this possible, and to the ticketholders for their patience while we did so.

“We’re confident that we’ll have Yusuf/Cat Stevens as part of the line-up for next year.

“We haven’t been able to confirm these shows 100% quite yet and will be in touch with ticket holders for these artists with news as soon as we can.”

Tickets for this year’s concerts are valid for the rescheduled shows in 2021. Refunds including booking fees are available from the point of purchase for those no longer able to attend.
