Info
The Waterboys bring Fisherman’s Blues Revue to OVO Hydro, Glasgow, on 29 August 2026. Led by singer and songwriter Mike Scott, the band revisits the chapter where its music leaned into Irish‑tinged folk rock, with fiddle‑driven textures, mandolin and acoustic guitars dialoguing with organs and electric bursts. The focus circles the Fisherman’s Blues and Room to Roam era, songs where reels, rural blues and ballads meet clear, unadorned writing. True to the group’s history, the set bridges their early widescreen rock and their more intimate folk side, keeping the storytelling front and center without losing momentum.
Sharing the bill, Steve Earle brings the grain of American songwriting shaped by country, folk, rock and bluegrass. From Guitar Town and Copperhead Road to The Mountain, his catalogue traces narratives of places, workers and wanderers with a plainspoken voice and sturdy melodies. His presence adds a cross‑Atlantic echo to the evening: two approaches to roots music, one born in Ireland and Britain, the other in the U.S., meeting on the same stage for a night grounded in songs, tradition and craft.
