C2C: Country to Country is a major country music festival that has found a second home in Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, solidifying its place as Europe’s premier country music event. Expanding from its London origins, the Glasgow edition began in 2016 at the Clyde Auditorium before moving to the larger OVO Hydro in 2018 to accommodate its growing fan base. The festival is a direct link to Nashville, bringing a carefully curated lineup that balances global superstars with rising talents from the US, UK, and Europe.
While the main stage at the OVO Hydro draws a massive crowd, the festival experience extends far beyond, with smaller, free “pop-up” stages set up in and around the venue. This unique element fosters a festival-wide atmosphere that is both intimate and electric, allowing attendees to discover new music and feel part of a genuine community. Fans, many in full country-western gear, create a vibrant and enthusiastic atmosphere, singing along to every word and embracing the culture. C2C Glasgow is more than just a series of concerts; it’s a dedicated celebration of a genre that has found a fiercely loyal audience in Scotland, making it an annual highlight for country music fans across the UK.
