Platform – The Perfect Pre-Gig Spot
Since our launch in 2018, Platform has been the go-to spot for music lovers, with our iconic red brick walls steeped in musical history. Our local programming adds to our eclectic atmosphere, with incredible homegrown talent like buskers, DJs, live singers and performers playing under our arches Thursday through to Sunday.
MEETING PLACE
With a central location, Platform has often been hailed as a meeting place for our guests to begin a day or night out on the town, and concerts are no exception.
Platform’s proximity to Glasgow Central railway station means that The OVO Hydro and The SEC Centre are just two quick train stops away on the lower-level train to The Exhibition Centre. For those gigs closer to the city centre, Platform is only a 13-minute walk away from King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, and 20 minutes away from the iconic O2 Academy.
We’re all about celebrating Glasgow’s music scene, and our own connection to music, and the incredible talent which graces Glasgow stages on a weekly basis. To keep the good vibes rolling Platform is offering an exclusive discount for gig-goers. Flash your concert ticket and you’ll enjoy 20% off your bill. Leaving you more money for merch, right?
There are plenty of chances to make use of our pre-dining gig offer in our split dining venue, with OVO Hydro boasting acts such as Keane (18th Oct), Scooter (31st Oct), Kasabian (9th Nov), Childish Gambino (29th Nov), The Snuts (6th Dec) & Slipknot (15th Dec) this side of Christmas. Meanwhile, the soulful Rag’n’Bone Man will play the O2 Academy on 22nd Nov, and The SEC welcomes Ayrshire rockers Biffy Clyro the following night 23rd Nov. If you’re looking to catch rising talent in a more intimate gig, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut has got you covered with bands like Dead Pony (20th Oct), Krooked Tongue (28th Oct), and Serotones (1st Dec).
With comfortable Chesterfield sofas, tall tables, spacious booths, and button-backed leather armchairs, our space allows for intimate or group dining for those proper catch ups pre-concert.
The magic of Platform lies in our food and drink offering. With delicious sharing plates inspired from global flavours and refined classics, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our menu makes use of seasonal and local ingredients with fan favourites including melt in your mouth bao buns, morish tacos, and our legendary Korean fried chicken, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
To help you get in the pre-concert spirit, our bar is stocked with premium cocktails, craft beer, wine, and spirits, all served by our expert team who are notorious for their service with a smile, and who ring true to the statement that People Make Platform.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we’ve upped the ante with the exciting introduction of casual games including foosball, pool tables, and shuffleboards. An added layer of fun to make your pre gig hangout one to remember. What are you waiting for? Book Platform before your next concert and grab that 20% off.
