Kelvingrove Bandstand and Amphitheatre is an open-air live music venue in the West End of Glasgow. It was opened in 1924, but closed in 1999, because it needed to be restored. The restoration only started in 2012. In 2014, Kelvingrove Bandstand finally re-opened for the visitors. The venue hosts different kinds of festivals, like West End Festival, concerts and other performances. It is located in Kelvingrove Park, which makes it perfect to visit for family weekends.
