Legendary DJ Jo Whiley will be back in Glasgow this weekend for an 'ultimate 90s party'.
An authority on the British music scene for a number of decades, she's also been an iconic face and voice of Glastonbury over the years too.
This Saturday, she'll be at Glasgow's O2 Academy 'with a sizzling anthem-packed party to end them all' as part of her 90s Anthems Tour, with her original May date having been postponed due to covid.

Meanwhile, Jo will also be playing at Edinburgh's O2 Academy on Friday.
Ahead of this weekend's gigs, organisers say: "The definitive voice of fresh, exciting new music who introduced us all to so many incredible emerging bands and global superstars through her generational Radio 1 show, no-one is better qualified to take us on an aural retrospective of the 90s than Jo.
"She started out in local radio before landing a job as band booker for infamous TV show The Word, where she brought Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine to the UK’s screens for the first time. And then the move that created the soundtrack of our lives for so many years – she moved to Radio 1 in 1993 and hosted The Evening Session with Steve Lamacq, a weekday role she maintained for 16 years before moving to weekends.
"On the cutting edge of new music and will always be the ultimate authority on the very best of classic sounds of the 90s, Jo is an institution in her own right and a national treasure.
"Now, she’s headed YOUR way with a dazzling new show – Jo Whiley’s 90s Anthems. The queen of the decade of mayhem, magic and misty memories delves into her archives to showcase her friends and favourites from Oasis and Blur to the Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. She knows it all, she lived it all, she loves it all and you will too."
