"International superstar Eminem has been unveiled as the first act to play Glasgow Summer Sessions - an exciting new music programme offering a series of concerts in the citys Bellahouston Park this August!

Eminem will return to wow Scottish audiences at Bellahouston Park on Tuesday 20th August."

So it looks like there will be a few concerts in Bellahouston Park this Summer. Who else we thinking?

Wouldn't surprise me to see Biffy Clyro play.

Heard Geoff Ellis talking about it this morning, apparently 3-5 gigs over 10 days.

Probably Snow Patrol and Kings of Leon, had heard they were going to add dates either side of the Stone Roses gig on Glasgow Green but maybe they are lined up for this instead.

I'm also expecting a big dance name to be announced, someone like Deadmau5 or David Guetta.

I guess it's quite good as a replacement for the outdoor shows of T on the Fringe which ended a few years back.

What's the capacity of Bellahouston?

When Snow Patrol played Bellahouston last time i'm sure it was 25000 not too sure the complete capacity but there were less than that at the Pope's vist i'm sure. I'm very happy with this announcement to be fair might end up getting a good band that i will enjoy playing :) It would be more suited to Glasgow Green though.

im certain that the popes mass was 70,000 in attendance ...

and i dont think you need a code for presale ...

I can't even remember to be fair, i was assuming it was less than Snow Patrol but thinking about it it was probably more. Anyway it hasn't been rumoured yet so i feel i need to be the first Daft Punk?

Hmm, I'd probably make the trek up to Scotland for it if it was Muse! Is bellahousten park nice?

It's ok for a gig saw Snow Patrol there and it wasn't terrible was better conditions than i expected and it was a sunny day so that probably helped. If it was raining i don't think it would be so great.

Looks like DF Concerts have been saving the bigger names for these concerts instead of T in the Park.

I think it's because they want to start it up as a fully organised festival each year. So starting with a load of good names would establish it then as the years go on we will be sat here arguing about how the festival has changed and is no longer sticking to it's roots while Neil says that he noticed this when the festival began :L Although in saying that when Snow Patrol announced their date they said they hoped to turn that into a recurring festival. Don't know if this is it finally panning out but we will see next year i suppose.

They are c**ts of the highest order in fleecing their so called customers and making it really difficult for other promoters in scotland to actually book acts never mind announce them.

I for one wont be giving them a penny of mine for these giga no matter who plays!

Sorry not to clues up here! How do DF make it hard for other promoters to book acts ?

If you have a choice of dates x band with a certain demographic, you could put that show on to coincide with another promoters event. It doesn't stop them booking them, but restricts how profitable it would be. They could also just use a clause in their contracts that stop them playing any other gigs in Scotland for 3 months either side of their festival. They could do this with every band on the bill if they wanted, even the little ones. Or they could just pay more, when they get wind that someone wants to book them. I'm not saying they do so, but these are the ways I would imagine.

I hate when big bands miss out Scotland coz we don't have anyh good stadiums for gigs (not a fan of murrayfield or hampden) and the secc isn't great so hopefully this will change that !

Oh I doubt very much that its because we don't have any good stadiums, the only time I have genuinly believed that was when U2 toured with elevation. Their tour manager had worked out that they needed indoor venues around 20,000 because of the size of the heart stage. But then the band eventually added two glasgow dates, it fitted fine. Proving the no decent size venue wasn't really true, they just made a lot less money. Which is why they needed a big hall. In saying that I was always a fan of meadowbank as a venue. I have never liked hampden or murrayfield.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt?

They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
