Hotels for The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues Revue

Fisherman's Blues turned thirty a few years back, and this revue leans into that folk-rock songbook rather than treating it as a nostalgia formality. Expect fiddle, mandolin and accordion pushed forward alongside guitars, with the band stretching songs out live rather than replaying the record note for note. Fans of the wider Celtic folk-rock scene tend to travel for this one, not just casual radio listeners.

A landmark of Glasgow's Clydeside, the OVO Hydro is one of the world's busiest arenas, its glowing dome hosting global music tours, comedy and sport beside the SEC campus and the river. The surrounding area is modern and purpose-built, with riverside walks and the Finnieston district's celebrated bars and restaurants close by.

Exhibition Centre station sits right alongside, linking quickly into the city centre. Booking a room in Finnieston or the centre lets you dine well before a show and walk or train back easily.
