Everything you need to know about the O2 Academy in Glasgow
With so many artists like Kneecap and The White Buffalo coming to the O2 this year, you may be looking to know more about the venue, especially if you haven't been before. When did the O2 Academy in Glasgow open? According to Hidden Scotland, the 02 Academy, located on Eglinton Street, was originally built as a United Secession Church in 1825. The venue was then converted into the Bedford Cinema in 1921 before it was destroyed in a fire just 11 years later. The newly constructed cinema opened on Boxing Day that same year and remained a picture house until 1973. Before becoming a music venue in 2003, it was used as a bingo hall. The gig space was launched by Deacon Blue, with the venue since hosting The Killers, James Brown and more. How to get to the O2 Academy in Glasgow from the city centre The O2 Academy is only a short drive from the city centre, with those travelling from Glasgow's Buchanan Bus Station only needing to drive for around 11 minutes.

Morrissey, Glasgow O2 Academy, review: He is human, he needs to be loved
At barely nine pm on Wednesday evening, at Glasgow's tastefully decrepit O2 Academy, Morrissey came close to bringing down the house in more than a figurative sense. As his fat-free five-piece band struck down How Is Soon Is Now?, that most precious of gems by The Smiths, the sound of the applause and acclaim of two-and-a-half-thousand people was louder than bombs. As the hullabaloo at last subsided, down at the front, one lady demanded the 66-year-old take off his clothes. 'Don't you know I'm old enough to be your milkman?' came the reply. If Morrissey wanted to treat his audience to heights of delight that might well have killed them, all he needed to do was carry on like this. With no new album to promote, to have divided the evening squarely between popular solo singles and anything by The Smiths would have done the trick nicely. Instead, though, the band with which he first made his name was represented by just three songs – Shoplifters Of The World Unite and Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me completed the trio – while the hits bearing his mononym were sparse on the ground. Unlike other artists of a certain age, evidently, Morrissey has yet to develop a taste for nostalgia. Whereas in the past this appetite for obscurantism has come close to driving me nuts, at the Academy, I reckon he got the balance just about right. And, anyway, if any audience can be relied upon to have paid attention over the decades, it's this one. Never mind that Best Friend On The Payroll, from the feloniously undervalued Southpaw Grammar album, is a cut so deep you'd need a Davy lamp to find it, down at the barrier, the crowd were singing along as if it were as familiar as Rockin' All Over The World. The same went for other unearthed gems such as Scandinavia and Istanbul, too. As with his dress sense, the lyrics remain scimitar sharp. But whereas Morrissey once sang of breaking into Buckingham Palace 'with a sponge and a rusty spanner', and of the 'wonderful dream' of seeing Margaret Thatcher on the guillotine, today, the gleaming edge of moral disgust is reserved for less predictable targets. With its withering refrain of 'go easy on the killer', in Bonfire Of The Teenagers, his contempt was aimed at those he believes have sought to minimise the trauma and outrage of the Manchester Arena bombing. Fine. At least he hasn't forgotten that making true political music involves saying things that nice people don't want to hear. Certainly, setting his stall out in song in this way is a lot better, and a good deal more artful, than the berserk iconoclasm that has at times threatened to drown out even his best music. In Glasgow, though, Morrissey was able straighten out the record somewhat; in an uncommonly intimate setting, he deftly recast himself in his best and truest light. 'I am human and I need to be loved,' he sang, 'just like everybody else does.'

More info Edinburgh singer Shirley Manson has said she 'doesn't care' if she gets cancelled. The 58-year-old artist, who is never shy with her opinions, said she'd 'rather be true to who she is'. This comes after her eighth album Let All That We Imagine Be The Light was released on Friday, May 30. Manson, who lives in LA with her husband, said it was 'heavenly to get away from the madness' as she came to London amid the release of her album. She told NME magazine: "If you cancel me, you cancel me. I've had a f***ing great career. I really don't f***ing care. "If you cancel us, I'll feel guilty that I've messed s**t up for my band, but I'd much rather be true to who I am as a human being, how I was raised by a family I'm very proud of." Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox Speaking on her latest album, and the motivations behind it, she said: "I've never really written about love very much. I always think it's been written about by people a thousand more talented than me. "I'm just not a romantic person, really. After my mum died and then Veela [Manson's dog], I realised I had to touch love somewhere, somehow.

"I've got an amazing marriage and I love my husband so much, but I also realised that in order to move on through a different passage in my life I had to reach out to find all the different types of love: the world, nature, the ocean, friends, my bandmates, my family. "I want to ignite that love. Like a torch when the world feels dark, I need to find all the hands that I can hold. My go-to is usually indignance, so I realised I had to come at things from a different perspective this time around or I would drown in my own negativity."
