Checked against the venue’s own listing

Capacity 1,500 standing A listed figure, not yet verified - check it with the venue before you book.

By size, SWG3 is the 3rd largest of the 80 venues we list in and around Glasgow with a standing capacity. Similar-size rooms: The Grand Hall Kilmarnock (about 1,300), Clyde Rooms (about 1,200) and The Old Fruitmarket (about 1,200).

SWG3 holds about 1,500 standing, which makes it a large room by the sizes we use across the directory. That is bigger than the typical room we list around Glasgow (about 230). A room this big is mostly booked by agents and promoters for touring acts; a support slot on one of those bills is the usual way in for a local act. Treat the number as a guide until it is verified, and check it with the venue first.
