The legendary Chicane brings an evening of balearic beats to the O2 Academy Glasgow.
Chicane is playing the O2 Academy Glasgow on Saturday 14 November, bringing an evening of balearic beats to the city. It's a headline show with him as the sole feature on the bill, so the night is built around his sound.
For those who know the name, Chicane is the project of Nick Bracegirdle, and the 'balearic' tag is the best way to describe it. It's that sun-drenched, melodic electronic music that takes its name from the Balearic Islands, with a slow-burn energy that works just as well for a long afternoon as it does for a night out. If you've spent any time with the early records, you'll recognise the sound: spacious, atmospheric, and leaning into the melodic side of dance music rather than the heavy beats of a club night.
It's a long way from the beaches of Ibiza to a Saturday night in Glasgow, but that's the point of a night like this. The set is built on those same balearic beats, and with him as the only name on the bill, the evening is focused on that one particular sound. It's a good fit for the O2 Academy, where the room can hold a decent crowd without losing the melody.

Doors open at 16:00, and the curfew is 22:00, so it's an early one that wraps up well before midnight. General admission tickets are sold out, but VIP packages are still available if you're looking for a way in. If you've been following his work, it's a chance to hear that balearic sound live in the city.
