The Arches is a bar, arts venue, theatre, live music venue and nightclub in Glasgow, Scotland, which first opened in 1991. It is situated in the City Centre under Glasgow Central station and the West Coast Main Line. The venue has 6.000 m2 of floor space, which is spread over two floors and seven arches.
In early 2007, The Arches was voted 12th best club in the world by readers of DJ Magazine, and a favorite club for many of the finest DJ's in the world. In 2009, it was ranked 27th best club in the world by DJ Magazine.
As Scotland’s original superclub, the Arches is the stuff of clubbing legend. There really is no other venue like it in the world. The Arches is the home of Pressure, Inside Out, Octopussy and Colours alongside the Arches’ own club night Death Disco. With the Funktion 1, a sound system of vast power consumption, alternately playing host to minimal techno, big bassline electro, hardstyle and 80s italo disco, the faces behind the decks range from platinum selling Ibiza trendsetters such as David Guetta and Laidback Luke to legendary acts such as Carl Cox, Jeff Mills and Laurent Garnier, the hottest current names, from A-Trak to Uffie, to the new names causing ripples of excitement in their respective fields – from Dinky to Villa and Acid Washed – making ours one of the most diverse club programmes in the city.
Inkeeping with the Arches ethos, the club has a reputation for discovering and promoting cutting-edge new talent. Death Disco continues to represent one of the city’s most dedicated sounding boards for the electro-disco scene, presenting the most promising, forward-thinking new DJs and live acts alongside established favourites as the likes of Burns, Aeroplane, Renaissance Man and Den Haan share the bill with Erol Alkan, Justice, Annie Mac and the Bloody Beetroots.
