Are You Blondie's Biggest Fan?

The iconic Blondie are returning to Glasgow with a show at the OVO Hydro on 22 April, and we are so excited!

Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and co will be supported by Johnny Marr for a huge night of rock this Friday. The band formed almost 50 years ago, have sold around 40 million records worldwide, and are considered amongst the most influential punk rock bands in the world.

This will be Blondie’s 7th visit to the Scottish Event Campus, having performed at the SEC Armadillo twice in 1999 on the No Exit tour, then again in 2004, 2005 and 2013 before playing in the Hydro in 2017 in support of their latest album Pollinator.

The band’s Against The Odds tour starts at the OVO Hydro, meaning fans in Glasgow will be the first to see what the band have up their sleeve with classic hits like ‘Sunday Girl’, ‘Atomic’ and ‘Denis likely to get you singing!
