Hotels for UB40 Ft. Ali Campbell

Reggae-pop favourites get an airing from a band built around decades of chart success, with the frontman's distinctive vocals still the main draw. Expect a set heavy on warm, familiar singalongs rather than deep cuts, the kind of night where couples who first danced to these songs in the eighties bring their own grown children along.

A Tuesday date means an early finish for the working week, so the crowd tends to be there for the music rather than a big night out. Songs about love and homesickness land differently sung to a packed arena than they ever did on record.

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.
