Green Day’s show at the Bellahouston Park will now take place at Glasgow Green. The council has said that this move is to allow for a project to improve the ground, which will include the part of Bellahouston Park used for concerts. There were problems with flooding following the wettest August on record last year.
The Hella Mega Tour with Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer on 24th June 24 will move to Glasgow Green. There will be two further shows announced, with the East End park replacing Bellahouston.
A spokesman for the council told Glasgow Times: “Our plans for Bellahouston Park will significantly improve the ground conditions within the park. The natural landscape within the park creates a bowl-effect where water can collect. But our investigations also identified high levels of clay and silt just under the surface, which affects the speed at which rain water can drain away.
“While this work is underway, three concerts initially planned for Bellahouston Park by DF Concerts will take place at Glasgow Green. We will be engaging with the local community around Glasgow Green as part of the multi-agency group that supports the delivery of major outdoor events within the city.”
