Country To Country Festival - Glasgow

About Country To Country Festival - Glasgow

At the OVO Hydro on Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus, Country To Country Festival - Glasgow 2027 brings country music into a 14,300-capacity indoor arena.

C2C began in 2013 at The O2 in London and later expanded to Dublin and Glasgow. The Hydro opened in September 2013. The Glasgow edition sits within a festival brand billed as Europe’s largest multi-day country festival.

Who Is It For?

The audience is mixed-age and centred on country music. All ages are admitted.

Under-16s must attend with an adult, which sets the age policy for the arena event.

The Venue and Site

The site is the OVO Hydro at the Scottish Event Campus. This is an arena setup rather than a field site.

Bars serve beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks, with cashless and contactless payments at the bars. Food outlets cover burgers and pizzas alongside fish and chips, loaded fries, hotdogs and snacks.

Accessible toilets and two Changing Places facilities are on campus. The drop-off and pick-up zone has a covered walking route to the arena, with the courtesy shuttle bus Gus the Bus running from the drop-off point.

The campus also has a box office, shop, ATM cash machines and baby-changing facilities nearby.
