On 31 July 2026, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark take to the iconic Kelvingrove Bandstand in Glasgow for an unforgettable summer concert that blends their signature synth-driven sound with the historic grandeur of the park setting; fans can expect a set that celebrates OMD’s enduring catalogue, with singalong moments, shimmering electronic textures, and reel-to-reel nostalgia under the open sky. The atmosphere will be electric as generations of listeners gather on the lawns and terraces, blankets and picnic hampers creating a relaxed but anticipatory mood as dusk falls over the city; the band’s melodic hooks and poignant lyrics are ideal for the communal warmth of an outdoor evening, where every chorus becomes a collective memory. Practical details make it easy to plan: advance tickets are strongly recommended to secure the best spots, while nearby public transport and the vibrant West End of Glasgow offer dining and post-show options to round out the night. Whether you come for the classic hits, the rare deep cuts, or simply to experience synth-pop history live, this Kelvingrove Bandstand performance promises a memorable highlight of Glasgow’s summer music calendar.
