Scotland’s biggest band, Wet Wet Wet have announced they are to perform a one-off concert in Glasgow to mark their 25th anniversary.

The hometown concert by the band will take place on Friday 20 July 2012 at Glasgow Green making it the Wets’ first show in nearly five years.

During the announcement at Glasgow City Chambers Wet Wet Wet performed ‘Temptation’ from their first album as well as two number ones in the shape of  ‘Goodnight Girl’, and the record breaking ‘Love Is All Around’.

It will be an emotional return to the east end of Glasgow for the band (Graeme Clark, Tommy Cunningham, Neil Mitchell, and Marti Pellow) who hosted a huge concert at Glasgow Green in 1989, an event still held in reverence throughout the country.

Exactly twenty five years ago this week in 1987, the debut single from Wet Wet Wet ‘Wishing I Was Lucky’ was working its way up the UK charts.  It would be the first of 27 massive hits throughout their phenomenal career during which they have sold in excess of 15 million records and featured in the UK official singles and albums charts for an immense 508 cumulative weeks.

After 65 million years, dinosaurs are once again roaming the planet!

The brilliant TV series, Walking With Dinosaurs, has finally come to life in this spectacular theatrical event.

Based on the award-winning BBC television series Walking with Dinosaurs, the show originated in Australia in 2007, and has since taken the world by storm.  Walking With Dinosaurs – The Arena Spectacular sees Tyrannosaurus Rex and his awe-inspiring life-size pals return to stalk UK shores once more, as these pre-historic giants get set to astound, thrill and educate a brand new generation of budding palaeontologists nationwide.

Audiences will marvel at this production of unprecedented size and quality, as pre-historic beasts of unmatched realism roam the stage and capture the imaginations of young and old alike.  Watch the story of their 200 million year domination unfold as you see them walk, hear them roar and come face to face as they fight for survival and supremacy.

A landmark in family entertainment, Walking with Dinosaurs has been seen by over 7m people in a staggering 206 cities across the world.  Ranked No.4 in Pollstar’s Top 100 Worldwide Tours, their phenomenal global success is credited to the pioneering work of its long-serving and passionate production team.  Bringing to life 20 to-scale dinosaurs night after night, this technological feat is of epic proportions.

Be bowled over by their 200 million year old story, or marvel at the £10 million spectacle.  But whatever you do, prepare to be amazed, enthralled and thrilled as the greatest creatures ever to have walked the earth are brought to life before your very eyes, from the glint in their eyes to the ripple of their skin.

This spectacular event is only in Glasgow for a few days in April 2013, so don’t miss it!

20th June – 28th July 2012

Location:  Glasgow Botanic Gardens

Admission:  £15/£10 concession

As has been proven in outdoor festivals in many cultural capitals around the world, Shakespeare plays work very well in the open air.  Glasgow’s beautiful Botanic Gardens provide the perfect backdrop for just such an event.

In these spectacular, historic and fragrant grounds, King Lear, Twelfth Night, Antony and Cleopatra, The Tempest, Much Ado About Nothing and Henry V have been performed to enthralled audiences and critical acclaim.

Glasgow Repertory Company’s annual outdoor Shakespeare festival is the only one of its kind in Scotland.  2012 will see the Bard celebrate their 11th year with an exciting programme of productions.

Bard in the Botanics returns in 2012 with a host of new productions that see some of Shakespeare’s most vivid creations embark on physical and emotional journeys that lead them into a new world and change their lives forever.

This year, the Bard will be performing The Tempest (directed by Jennifer Dick), Romeo & Juliet (directed by Gordon Barr), and As You Like It (directed by Gordon Barr).

• The Tempest Sometimes merry, sometimes melancholy, Bard in the Botanics’ exciting and theatrical new outdoor production of The Tempest promises magic, music and mystery…
• Romeo & Juliet This brand new production of Shakespeare’s most famous title retells this enduring story through the eyes of a younger generation betrayed by their elders and struggling to make sense of their emotions in a world they haven’t created.
• As You Like It Beautifully romantic and enchantingly funny, As You Like It is one of Shakespeare’s most enjoyable comedies and features, in Rosalind, one of drama’s greatest romantic heroines.

Some outdoor performances can involve a lengthy walk through the grounds, but picnic baskets are available to sustain the hungry theatre-goer.

Performances in the main botanic gardens

Performances of both The Tempest and As You Like It start at 7.45pm; performances of Romeo & Juliet begin at 8pm.  There are no performances on Sunday or Monday evenings throughout the festival.

• 20th June – 7th July:  The Tempest
• 21st June – 20th July:  Romeo & Juliet
• 13th – 28th July:  As You Like It
