Getting to O2 Academy Glasgow

Reaching the O2 Academy Glasgow (G5 9NT) is straightforward, thanks to Glasgow’s excellent public transport network. For those travelling by train, the closest National Rail stations are Pollokshields East and Pollokshields West, both a manageable walk from the venue. Alternatively, the Glasgow Subway offers a quick and easy option; Shields Road and West Street stations are both within walking distance, providing connections across the city. Numerous bus routes also serve the area, with stops conveniently located on Eglinton Street, directly outside or very close to the venue.

If you’re planning to drive, the O2 Academy is easily accessible from the M74 and M8 motorways. However, parking directly at the venue is extremely limited, and on-street parking in the immediate vicinity can be challenging, especially on event nights.

Always allow ample time for travel, particularly on a busy Saturday evening, to ensure you don’t miss a moment of Maren Morris’s spectacular show.
