Calvin Harris can make a solid case for being the most famous Scottish musician on the planet right now – so it’s a huge occasion that he’s in Glasgow for two shows this weekend. The Dumfries-born DJ and producer is at Hampden Park for two shows on August 1 and 2.

The ‘We Found Love’ and ‘Summer’ hitmaker follows Metallica and Take That in taking over the home of Scottish football this summer. Calvin Harris is supported at Barclays Hampden – as the venue is currently known for sponsorship reasons – by MK, Jazzy and Ewan McVicar.

Calvin Harris is only playing a few UK dates in summer 2026 (the others being at festivals Creamfields, Isle of Wight and Parklife, as well as a show in Belfast later in August). In other words, you won’t want to miss him in Glasgow.

Heading to Hampden to see Calvin Harris? Here’s everything you need to know about the dates, from the timings and support acts to the seating plan and last-minute ticket availability.
