Summer Nights on the Southside 2025: How to get tickets, ticket prices, presales, lineup and restrictions


The headliners - and many of the support bands - have been announced for a popular music festival.
The clocks may only just be about to go back for the winter, but thoughts are already turning to the soundtrack of next summer.
Glasgow’s Summer Nights on the Southside festival is one of the first to show its hand for 2025, with four headliners and a string of supports just confirmed.
The Summer Nights gigs were originally only held at the Kelvingrove Bandstand, in Glasgow’s West End, but in recent years the city’s Southsiders have been able to join in the fun, with concerts at Queens Park Recreational Ground.
Last year saw the likes of Mogwai, The Charlatans and The Waterboys perform over three days.
And this year it’s been extended by a day - with four amazing programmes of music, starting at 4pm each day.
Here’s everything you need to know, including how to bag a ticket.
