King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut

King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, known simply as King Tut’s, is Glasgow’s iconic grassroots live music venue. Since opening in 1990, it has launched countless acts and become a rite of passage for artists and fans alike. With a cosy 300-capacity space, it offers an electrifying atmosphere where up-and-coming bands share the stage with legends, making every show feel unforgettable.

🎶 About the Venue

Located at 272A St Vincent Street, King Tut’s is owned and run by DF Concerts and operates as one of Scotland’s most celebrated small venues. From its early days, Tut’s built a reputation for spotting new talent — Radiohead, Oasis, Biffy Clyro, and many more all played there before, or soon after, becoming household names.

The venue is compact and intimate (standing room, no big seating tiers), making it perfect for getting close to the music. Beyond its musical heritage, King Tut’s also includes a basement bar & kitchen serving food (burgers, mac ’n’ cheese, chilli, etc.) to support the experience before and during shows.
