The Hydro venue in Glasgow has been ranked as the world's second-busiest live entertainment arena. The 13,000-capacity building was beaten to the top spot by London's O2 arena in the list compiled by Pollstar, a trade publication for venues and tours.

How much did The SSE Hydro cost to build?
Now, in his report, SEC Ltd chairman Will Whitehorn puts a total figure on that for 2015/16 of £411m for Glasgow and £308m for Scotland. These are enormous figures when you consider that the total investment cost for the Hydro was around £125m.
What is The SSE Hydro made of?
The unique façade of the OVO Hydro, made up of pneumatic translucent cushions, has been made possible by using a special film originally developed for the space industry. This allows natural light to illuminate the foyers during the day and the arena to 'glow' at night.
