About OVO Hydro

The OVO Hydro opened in 2013 as part of the wider Scottish Event Campus (SEC) redevelopment on the banks of the River Clyde. Designed by the renowned architect Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, the arena was purpose-built to bring world-class live entertainment to Glasgow. It played a central role in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, hosting aquatics events. Since opening, it has consistently ranked among the top-grossing arenas globally, attracting headline acts across music, sport, and entertainment. Originally known as the SSE Hydro, it was renamed the OVO Hydro in 2021 following a sponsorship change.

The OVO Hydro is widely praised for its intimate feel despite its large capacity. The steep, bowl-shaped seating arrangement means there is no bad seat in the house, keeping audiences close to the action. The acoustics are purpose-designed for live performance, and the combination of excellent sightlines and a passionate Glasgow crowd makes for a genuinely electric atmosphere at sell-out shows.

OVO Hydro is one of the most in-demand places to watch live sport and entertainment in Glasgow, with room for around 14,300 fans on a big night. Staadly lists verified resale tickets for every event here, all-in priced and backed by the 100% buyer guarantee.
