What's On Scotland 10-17 Jan: King Tut's New Year's Revolution

King Tut’s New Year’s Revolution returns this year (running up until 19 January) and as it has done for the past few years, the St Vincent Street venue is jumping head first into the new year with a host of local bands they think you should have your eye on in 2019.

Over the next week, you can take your pick of shows from the likes of Bad Hombres, Static Union, Deni Smith and more. The one we're most excited for this week though is the ST.MARTiiNS show on Friday night. One of our favourite bands to come out of Dundee in recent times, the duo are bringing their woozy, lo-fi pop to Tut’s and you should most definitely join them.

Also throwing a belated new year party in G-town this week are local promoters Hiip Priest, who have lined up Fauves, Future Glue, Freakwave and more for their Saturday night shindig. If you've been wondering whether it's too late to still be wishing people a Happy New Year, evidently it's not.

The 1975
SSE Hydro, Glasgow. 12 Jan, 6.30pm
Their latest album, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships, was widely credited as one of the best of 2018, their politically-charged single Love It If We Made It featured on many tracks of 2018 lists, and they were called “the band of the decade” by Q Magazine; it can only be The 1975.
