Overview

Explore Glasgow's famous music scene with a two hour guided walk around the city's music mile.

From the Royal Concert Hall to the famous King Tut’s, via Glasgow's Conservatoire, this is a whistle-stop guide around the city centre, an area teeming with music venues past and present.

Glasgow has an unrivalled reputation for producing brilliant bands, making memorable music and putting on unforgettable shows. Walk with us and we will show you why.

The guides are enthusiastic music fans, performers and writers who are immersed in Glasgow’s cultural life.

A little over a mile in length, the Music Mile tour covers diverse genres and eras from dancehall and traditional jazz to punk, pop, and today's guitar heroes.

It has plenty of detail for the dedicated music fans but, like all our tours, it is packed with great stories that will entertain the casual fan who wants a different way to see the city.
