Legendary venue King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut finally opened its doors to Glasgow music fans last night after 18 months.

As Scotland moved beyond level 0 of coronavirus restrictions, live music returned to the city as the legal requirement to social distance was lifted.

Kicking off their King Tut’s Summer Nights festival for the year, revellers were treated to sets from headliner Brooke Combe with support from Lamaya, Berta Kennedy and Julia.

King Tut’s said the evening had been “an unbelievable buzz”.

The sold out show was a welcome return to normality for the artists and attendees alike with both locals and those from further afield in attendance.

Twitter user Andy Thomas had travelled from Wales for the highly anticipated return to live music.

 Headliner Brooke Combe said it was “unreal” to be playing a sold out show on the first day of restrictions being lifted.

The festival, now in its ninth year, continues throughout August with 75 acts playing across 19 nights.

King Tut’s say their Summer Nights festival “has been committed to delivering a programme of events showcasing the finest grassroots talent in Scotland".

The venue has played host to acts such as Oasis, Radiohead and local heroes Biffy Clyro over the years and is held in high regard by many with The Killers saying they consider King Tut’s “dear to their hearts".

King Tut’s is set to be full again tonight with another sold out evening of their Summer Nights festival to be headlined by Cloud House with support from The Rain Experiment, Amur and Birthday Cake.

King Tut’s requests that visitors continue to wear a face mask when not drinking, dining or dancing, stay in their bubble and take a lateral flow test before attending the venue.

Tickets for the events are available from King Tut’s website.
