OVO Hydro in Glasgow turns 10
Tomorrow marks ten years since the OVO Hydro first opened its doors in Glasgow...
www.hellorayo.co.ukHere’s the latest I could gather about OVO Hydro.
- OVO Hydro is Glasgow’s large entertainment arena, rebranded in 2021 when OVO became the naming rights sponsor. [OG context: the venue opened in 2013 as The SSE Hydro and later adopted the OVO branding].[4][6]
- Recent coverage notes security and crowd-management issues at Hydro gigs, including reports of long queues and weather-related access problems affecting attendees (examples from 2024–2025 coverage).[3][9]
- OVO Hydro has been involved in climate and sustainability initiatives linked to its parent brand OVO, including partnerships and campaigns around greener tech and energy projects (Plan Zero context).[1][8]
- There are ongoing business developments around OVO Energy, the broader company behind the Hydro sponsorship, including merger/ownership discussions and regulatory context in 2025–2026 timelines; those broader corporate moves can influence sponsorship and venue collaborations.[2][5]
