Fury as fans left in 'torrential rain' for up to an hour before Hydro gig
Fontaines D.C fans took to social media to express their frustration at the situation, which left some missing the beginning of the performance.
news.stv.tvHere’s the latest I can share based on current public information.
- OVO Hydro is Glasgow’s large, multipurpose venue formerly known as The SSE Hydro, with OVO Energy as the naming partner since 2021. The venue opened in 2013 after reconstruction from a fire and has since hosted countless concerts and events.[4][6]
- In 2025–2026, news around OVO Hydro largely covers event lineups, security measures, and updates to programming, as well as broader coverage of OVO Energy’s sponsorship and sustainability initiatives tied to Plan Zero. A notable theme is the venue’s continuing role in Glasgow’s entertainment scene and its alignment with OVO’s climate and energy goals.[2][3][8]
- The venue has faced occasional operational attention, such as crowd management at large gigs, which has sparked discussions about logistical improvements for events there.[9]
