This weekend see’s not one, but two editions of B12 Entertainment MELTERZ series, played over two consecutive nights at Glasgow’s Classic Grand.
Specifically curated to showcase emerging young talent from across the local grassroots scene, the MELTERZ shows take place throughout the month (full list of dates here). The acts who sell the most amount of tickets across the quarter are then invited back for the grand finale, with one act walking away with £1000 prize to put towards their artist development.
With three shows in this series already down, the next installments of MELTERZ takes place this Friday (4th) and Saturday (5th April). These are some of our “must see’s” of the weekend.
