OVO Hydro in Glasgow turns 10
Tomorrow marks ten years since the OVO Hydro first opened its doors in Glasgow...
www.hellorayo.co.ukHere’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]
