About Europe - The Final Countdown 40th Anniversary Tour

Four decades on from the album that gave this band their name in stadiums everywhere, this anniversary run brings the songs back to a big indoor arena crowd rather than a festival field. Expect a set built around the singles that soundtracked a very particular era of rock, played by a band who know exactly what the audience came for.

A Wednesday evening slot means an early finish for the working week, with fans travelling from across the country to mark forty years of the record rather than just another tour stop.

Where to stay nearby

Glasgow itself is the obvious base, with the venue only a couple of kilometres from the city centre and by far the largest choice of hotels. Paisley offers a smaller, quieter alternative a short drive or train ride away, useful if Glasgow rooms are scarce or pricier on the night. Edinburgh is a further option for those already staying there or unable to find space closer in, with frequent trains linking the two cities, though it's a longer journey each way and best suited to those happy to travel in for the evening.

Glasgow — about 2 km away

Glasgow itself puts you steps from the venue. With 115 hotels across all neighborhoods and price points, you can stay riverside for a 10-minute walk, or in the city center and take a short bus or taxi ride. Public transport and taxis make reaching OVO Hydro straightforward any time of day.

Edinburgh — about 69 km away

The train connects the two cities in under an hour; from Edinburgh Waverley you can reach the venue via regular rail and local transport.
