AMERICAN rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are coming to Scotland for an exciting anniversary tour.<\/p>\n

The ensemble, from San Francisco<\/a>, California, will play Glasgow<\/a>‘s O2 Academy in December to celebrate two decades since the release of their third studio album Howl.<\/p>\n

The record contains a string of hits including Shuffle Your Feet, Ain’t No Easy Way and Weight of the World.<\/p>\n

The group originally consisted of Peter Hayes, Robert Levon Been, and Nick Jago.<\/p>\n

However Nick left the band in 2008 and was replaced by Leah Shapiro.<\/p>\n

The upcoming gig was only revealed tonight and the social media<\/a> post has already racked up dozens of likes.<\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale on Friday.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, furious concertgoers who were left queuing for hours before a gig at Glasgow’s Hydro last night have blasted venue bosses<\/a> – claiming they ‘couldn’t organise a p*** up in a brewery’.<\/p>\n

Thousands of\u00a0dance\u00a0music fans flocked to the OVO arena on Sunday evening for the Bank\u00a0Holiday\u00a0Clubland Live\u00a0show\u00a0which was billed as ‘The Biggest Night of Your Life’.<\/p>\n

The star-studded lineup featured huge names like DJ Basshunter and noughties dance icon Cascada.<\/p>\n

And the “three-hour action-packed\u00a0show” promised ticketholders a chance to “relive the classic tunes in a\u00a0party<\/a>\u00a0atmosphere”.<\/p>\n

But hundreds of revellers were left sorely disappointed after having to queue up for two hours and\u00a0missing\u00a0some of the gig.<\/p>\n

Doors opened at 6.30pm, with the event scheduled to start at 7 pm and end at 10.30pm.<\/p>\n

But scores of raging fans claimed they did not enter the venue until several hours after it began.<\/p>\n

Dozens of peeved-off concertgoers took to\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0to share their frustration at the ‘terrible’ management of the event.<\/p>\n

One angry attendee wrote: “Well went to clubland at the Hydro in\u00a0Glasgow. Organised f****** chaos, couldn’t organise a p*** up in a brewery. <\/p>\n

“Doors opened at 6.30pm, concerts starts at 7pm, and we are still outside at 7.55pm. F*** that.\u00a0Home\u00a0time.
