Developer wants big change to size of music and events venue next to Celtic Park

Plans for an even bigger music and events venue beside Celtic Park have been submitted for approval.

G40 Events Ltd has drawn up new designs for the purpose-built venue on vacant land next to 1257 London Road, at the endpoint of Dalrida Street.

Permission had previously been granted for a venue with space for 700 people, however, a new plan will see space created for 940 people.

As well as the event's venue, there will also be a roof terrace and a 'yard space' with temporary street food or music events.

The latest application explains: “The proposed venue would be hosting a multitude of different events ranging from live music, corporate dinners, weddings, fashion shows, food and drink events.

The purpose-built venue will be on London Road (G40 Events Ltd)

“The proposals aim to provide a modestly sized venue of 940-person capacity that is to host primarily commercial music events but with the dual purpose of becoming a recreational space for the immediate Parkhead community.

“The proposal will be supported by high-quality bar and necessary ancillary facilities to host large gatherings along with complementary external amenity ‘yard’ space with temporary external street food or music events.

“The site has an existing consent for a live music venue. The landowner is seeking to develop these proposals and create a more modern and distinctive identity for the venue.

“The proposal will create a simple and elegant building form that makes a positive contribution to London Road and the wider context.”

The plans are due to go before
