The SSE Hydro has soared into third place in the Pollstar ‘Top 100 Worldwide Arena Venues’ rankings.
The list, compiled quarterly by the leading entertainment industry publication Pollstar, is based on arena attendance for live entertainment.
In just ten months since opening, The SSE Hydro has hosted 120 live entertainment performances and welcomed over a million fans through the doors.
Almost every major UK arena tour now makes its way through Glasgow, and in the last quarter alone has amongst others included Justin Timberlake, McBusted, Katy Perry, Prince, The Eagles, Dolly Parton, Kings of Leon, and Robbie Williams.
John Langford, Director of Live Entertainment at The SSE Hydro and SECC, said: “To have reached number three on the Pollstar rankings in less than a year since opening is incredible and demonstrates just how well the venue has been adopted by Scottish fans.
“Glasgow and The SSE Hydro are firmly established as major players in this exciting industry”.
SSE is the title sponsor of the 13,000 capacity auditorium located in Glasgow, which enables SSE to offer customers advanced access to tickets as well as the chance to upgrade into exclusive customer lounges at the venue.
Wendy Barbour, Director of Commonwealth Games and Sponsorship, said: “This is another milestone for The SSE Hydro which has established itself as an iconic venue within its first year of being open.
“The SSE Hydro is a fantastic venue and we’re delighted to be able to offer our customers benefits via ssereward.com to energise entertainment and help them enjoy memorable experiences there as part of our sponsorship agreement.”
