Glasgow, 23/09/2027

Glasgow, prepare for a magical autumn evening where the romance of Vienna meets the warmth of Scotland — on Thursday, 23 September 2027, André Rieu and his world-renowned Johann Strauss Orchestra will return to OVO Hydro for a spectacular concert on the banks of the River Clyde. Beginning at 19:30, the performance promises an unforgettable celebration of music, emotion and timeless melodies, bringing the unmistakable charm of the “King of the Waltz” back to one of Scotland’s most celebrated entertainment venues.

The announcement marks another exciting chapter in André Rieu’s relationship with Scottish audiences. Following his Glasgow performance in September 2026, the Dutch violinist and conductor is returning just over a year later with a new production that combines classical elegance, theatrical spectacle and the joyful atmosphere that has made his concerts famous around the world.

Accompanied by his magnificent 70-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, a choir and outstanding soloists, Rieu will take audiences on a musical journey through romantic Viennese waltzes, beloved classical masterpieces, emotional ballads and memorable music from opera, musicals and films. Elaborate costumes, impressive scenery and beautiful lighting will add a theatrical dimension to the performance, creating an evening designed to entertain and inspire audiences of every generation.

The setting for this special concert is OVO Hydro, one of Scotland’s most recognisable indoor entertainment venues. Located within the Scottish Event Campus beside the River Clyde, the arena opened in 2013 and was designed by the internationally renowned architectural practice Foster + Partners. Its distinctive circular shape and illuminated exterior have become familiar features of Glasgow’s modern waterfront.

With a maximum capacity of approximately 14,300 spectators, OVO Hydro regularly welcomes some of the world’s biggest touring artists. Its flexible seating arrangements and modern production facilities make it particularly well suited to André Rieu’s elaborate orchestral performances, allowing audiences to experience both the delicate sound of his violin and the full power of the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

For André Rieu, however, the true magic of a concert lies in the connection between the musicians and their audience. His performances are famous for transforming enormous arenas into places of warmth and togetherness. A gentle violin melody can create a moment of quiet emotion, while the opening notes of a familiar Strauss waltz can suddenly have thousands of people smiling, clapping and swaying together.

The 23 September 2027 Glasgow concert forms part of André Rieu’s newly announced UK and Ireland tour. Following performances in Belfast, Dublin and London earlier in the month, the orchestra will travel north to Scotland before continuing to Nottingham on 24 September and Birmingham on 25 September. This busy sequence offers audiences across Britain another opportunity to experience Rieu’s latest international production.

Glasgow itself provides an excellent setting for a memorable concert visit. Known for its rich musical heritage, impressive Victorian architecture and welcoming atmosphere, Scotland’s largest city offers plenty to discover before the evening performance. Visitors can explore the riverside, enjoy the restaurants and cafés of the city centre or discover the museums and galleries that make Glasgow one of Britain’s most interesting cultural destinations.

The arena’s location within the Scottish Event Campus also makes it convenient for visitors travelling from elsewhere in Scotland or beyond. Exhibition Centre railway station provides connections to the wider Glasgow transport network, while nearby hotels and restaurants make it easy to turn the concert into a relaxing overnight stay.

André Rieu remains one of the world’s most successful touring classical musicians, with more than 40 million albums sold worldwide and hundreds of thousands of concertgoers attending his performances annually. His enduring popularity reflects his ability to make orchestral music accessible, emotional and entertaining while preserving the elegance and musical excellence that have defined his career.
