It was also calculated to have a significantly stronger music scene than Edinburgh, hosting nearly three times as many concerts as the Scottish capital. Glasgow boasts a total of 106 music venues, including iconic venues such as the Barrowlands and St Luke's, as well as more than 350 homegrown artists. This year, the city is expected to host 1,026 concerts, as well as a further 23 music festivals including the ever-popular TRNSMT festival in Glasgow Green.

"Music ticket sales are therefore a driving force in the growth of the music industry and are expected to continue to be highly in demand. "For this reason, concerts, festivals, and venues are crucial to each city's music scene and its ability to thrive and provide the highly demanded entertainment that the music industry offers. "Cities that have a larger number of music businesses are key in creating the perfect city for music fans, as this impacts the city's cultural, economic, and social vibrancy. "A thriving music scene within a city means it can provide more artistic expression, support a wider range of genres, and enrich the cultural landscape, as well as attract creative talent."
