An Afternoon of Rock GLASGOW

A daytime rock and metal party at Record Factory in Glasgow, built around well-known hits from several decades, with pop-punk and grunge among the styles covered.

An Afternoon of Rock has previously been staged in London, Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham and Leeds, and this Glasgow edition brings the format to Record Factory. The programme is a selection of popular songs from rock, glam metal, pop-punk, grunge and nu-metal, spanning several decades. Hits by bands including Nirvana, Queen, Green Day, Metallica and Guns N'Roses are among the tracks the selection draws on.

The afternoon is pitched at rock fans who want to spend time with others who share their taste in music, with the emphasis on familiar songs from across the genres rather than on new material. Because the event is a party built around hits, it works as a social gathering as much as a listening session.

Record Factory is a Glasgow venue whose programme is devoted chiefly to live music performances, and this event is one of the rock nights it hosts.
