Getting to O2 Academy Glasgow
O2 Academy Glasgow is the venue for Cage the Elephant's Glasgow show. The listed address is 121 Eglington Street, Glasgow. Check the venue's entry times and bag policy before the day, and plan your route home in advance, as large concerts often finish when public transport is at its busiest.
Travelling to Glasgow for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Glasgow Airport (GLA). A Thursday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
With a 19:00 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
