450 music fans in Glasgow are being invited to join a gig crawl around the city's underground system. The Going Underground event will take place on 25 Sep, a bank holiday in Glasgow, and will include gigs in at least six different venues, each on a different stop on the city's underground line (which runs in a circle around the city centre).
Among the bands confirmed to play during the day are Data Panik, The Hussys, Pop-Up, Pilotcan, Glasvegas, The Low Miffs, The AMs, Bela and the Ten To Five Project - with the line up for the final gig at Oran Mor on Byres Road still to be announced. £20 tickets which get you into every gig will go on sale this weekend, while additional tickets to the final show at Oran Mor will be released over the summer.
The event is being promoted by Xfm presenter (and, if I remember rightly, CMU co-founder) Fraser Thomson via his Scenester Promotions outfit. He told CMU: "It's a unique chance for Scottish music fans to enjoy a day out, see some unique venues and so many bands. It's better than a festival because you won't miss any of the acts".
Scenester's Thomas Henderson added: "I think the line up superbly reflects the rich and diverse vein of talent running through Scotland at the moment"
