King Theatre on Bath Street in Glasgow opened in 1904 and has been a constant on the Glasgow social scene ever since. It has played so host to top shows and top stars over the years we couldn’t begin to list them.

It continues to pack in audiences year after year for some of the best events in Glasgow. We’ve hand-picked some of the highlights of this summer’s schedule in The King’s Theatre, so you don’t miss a thing.
