King Tut's Wah Wah Hut is one of Scotland's most famous grassroots venues, tucked away at 272a St Vincent Street in Glasgow's city centre (G2 5RL). Open since 1990 and with a 300-capacity room, it has been at the forefront of the Scottish live-music scene for over three decades — famously the spot where Oasis were signed in 1993. The venue runs a packed gig calendar (around 70 shows scheduled across 2026-2027) that showcases new and emerging bands alongside touring indie, rock and alternative acts. A full backline and an in-house sound engineer back every performance, and the venue welcomes both original artists and covers, making it a cornerstone of Glasgow's grassroots circuit.

City Centre, GlasgowAbout the night
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut is one of the most iconic small venues in Britain — the 300-capacity Glasgow room where Oasis were famously signed — and its open mic keeps that pedigree within reach of anyone with a song. It runs as an all-ages session in the bar every Saturday afternoon from 2pm to 6pm, hosted by 'Shakey' Sean Findlay: turn up, sign up and play, with c. 10-minute slots, free entry and the venue's proper backline and engineer behind you. Playing the Tut's stage — even the bar one — is a genuine notch on any Glasgow musician's belt.
Also on
On Sunday afternoons the venue runs the all-ages Sunday Song Club from 3pm to 6pm, which also includes open mic opportunities — a second route in if Saturday fills up.
