Discover the mesmerising delights of music in a whole new way with these Candlelight concerts. Bathing some of Glasgow’s most magical locations in a gorgeous glow of flickering light, these unforgettable evenings invite everyone to unwind, sit back, and let the melodies of well-known songs, classical compositions or even familiar film soundtracks wash over you.
Candlelight knows how to deliver a truly special experience, with each concert transporting the audience through a combination of powerful instrumentals, a striking architectural backdrop, and an atmospheric sea of candles. Once you’re in your seat, the world is forgotten and you can lose yourself in the music.
Glasgow has already hosted a variety of Candlelight concerts, taking place at venues such as Òran Mór and Platform. This year, there is a dazzling line-up of concerts that you can choose from. If you can recognise a Miss Americana song from a single note, you’ll feel at home at a tribute concert to Taylor Swift. But if you are more into “having the time of your life” then ABBA’s Tribute is where you can unleash your inner “Dancing Queen”.
It might be that you love to get lost in the captivating world of film, where soundtracks inject emotion and power into every dramatic scene or uplifting sequence. If so, then you should be first in line for tickets to Candlelight Special: Oscar-winning Scores or Candlelight: The Best of Hans Zimmer.
If you are feeling a bit “Under Pressure”, why not blow off steam with the iconic British band Queen, or you can always “Go your own way” and jam to some Fleetwood Mac anthems all night. But if all of this still feels overwhelming just sit back, relax, and let the songs of the late Amy Winehouse lull you into a blissful state created by the smooth jazz band.
Candlelight concerts are perfect for special evenings with loved ones or plans with friends. And if you’re just looking to get lost in some magical musical performances in breathtaking venues, a candlelit concert is the ideal place for that too.
Note: For the safety of our audience, all of the candlelight will be provided through flameless candles.
