Calvin Harris at Hampden this weekend - everything you need to know

Scotland's prodigal son will be returning this weekend for a massive stadium show at Hampden Park.

The DJ will be taking to the decks on Saturday, July 2 for a show that is set to be absolutely full of bangers to get you right in the mood for summer.

The show will be his first Scottish gig since he played T in the Park back in 2016 and will undoubtedly not be one to miss.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the show...

Set times

The show will be kicking off at 5pm with Scottish DJ Arielle Free who will be playing a one-hour set. She will be followed by Dissciples who will be on from 6.15pm until 7.15pm. MK will take to the stage at 7.30pm until 8.30 before Calvin takes over at 9pm until 11pm.

Organisers have advised fans to arrive at Hampden as early as possible to avoid delays.

Age restrictions

No under 16s are permitted at the event and attendees are advised to bring ID with them - all the usual forms of ID will be accepted.

What you can and can't bring

You can bring blankets, cameras, ear plugs, hand sanitiser, hats, lip balm, make up, sunscreen, sunglasses, an empty bottle no bigger than 500ml (not a fancy reusable one though as glass/metal/hard plastic bottles aren't permitted!), wipes.

Things you can't bring include chairs, professional cameras, drugs, flares (you’ll get charged by the Police), glass or metal/hard plastic bottles (incl perfume/fragrance), smoke canisters (you’ll get charged by the police), flags, selfie sticks and umbrellas.

Getting there

Train

ScotRail has urged anyone traveling by train to plan ahead and allow plenty of time for their journey.

Extra carriages will be added between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida - the closest station to Hampden Park. There will be no trains departing Mount Florida back to Glasgow Central after the concert finishes due to the temporary timetable currently in place.

There will also be a very limited number trains out of Glasgow city centre after 11pm. These are:

  • 23:17 Glasgow Central to East Kilbride
  • 23:21 Glasgow Central to Gourock
  • 23:22 Glasgow Central to Stirling
  • 23:30 Glasgow Central to Ayr
  • 23:45 Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley

Bus

First Bus will be running a number of shuttle buses to and from Hampden with an express return service operating from the venue into the city post-event.

Happy Bus is running services from across Scotland to and from Hampden for the show. This service must be pre-booked at www.happybus.co.uk

Parking

Queens Park Recreation Ground will be the designated parking area.
