Glasgow's well-earned reputation as a city that no singer or band wants to miss off the tour schedule looks set to continue, with some of the biggest names on the planet heading this way.

Here are 12 shows to get a ticket for, whatever the cost....

Hector Bizerk, Broadcast, February 20.

One of the most exciting and vital bands in Scotland at the moment, rap act Hector Bizerk are currently releasing a series of EPs, including a collaboration with Scotland's Makar, Liz Lochhead. Vigo Thieves, King Tut's, February 21.

One of Glasgow's most loved venues, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut turns 25 in February. A whole host of shows are planned with special acts, but the rowdiest gig will probably be rising Scottish rockers Vigo Thieves, who've recently seen their tune Believe adopted by the Scotland football team for the Euro 2016 qualifiers..

Royal Blood, Barrowland, February 22 and 23.

Few bands had a better 2014 than Royal Blood. After an ABC appearance in October they've now got two dates at the Barrowland lined up, which will surely be triumphant occasions.
