A name we all know - King Tut's Wah Wah Hut

Founded by Stuart Clumpass, boss of DF Concerts ( the same guys who do T in the Park ) King Tut's Wah Wah Hut is a live music venue situated in the heart of Glasgow. It opened its doors in February 1990 and has since become a legendary establishment. With a capacity of just 300, the intimate atmosphere of King Tut's has won it many awards, including 'best live venue in the UK' from Radio 1 in 2002.

It has established a reputation for being the place to go, to see big bands before they make it. Biffy Clyro, The Strokes, Coldplay, Blur, The Verve and Travis - then known as Glass Onion - all played at King Tut's during the early stages of their career. However the most famous story of young artists careers blossoming at King Tut's would be that of Oasis. The band were discovered and signed here in 1993.

The venue strongly dedicates itself to nurturing new talent. In 2005 they set up 'Your Sound' which was described by Radio 1 in Scotland DJ, Vic Galloway as ‘a living, breathing myspace’. It allows unsigned acts to develop a fan base, and gain exposure within the music industry by having their recorded material played at a monthly event at the venue as well as receiving advice from industry insiders. King Tut's also has its own record label, which are continually on the look out to sign fresh talent.

NME hailed King Tut's in 2007 as, 'quite possibly the finest small venue in the world.' Radio 1 have named it the best live venue in the UK, 3 years in a row. The venue has been visited by the likes of, The Killers, Bloc Party, Kings of Leon and Stereophonics, before or after their own shows at the city's larger venues.

So whether you play in a band yourself or just enjoy finding out about new music, get yourself to the place every ones been talking about for the past 20 years - King Tut's Wah Wah Hut.
