City Halls is a significant concert venue in Glasgow, Scotland, originally constructed in 1909 as part of a municipal complex including the nearby Old Fruitmarket. Designed by William Binnie Simpson, it served initially as a municipal hall hosting civic events alongside concerts. The building’s interior features notable Art Nouveau detailing and excellent acoustics, making it particularly suited to orchestral performances.

Throughout its history, City Halls has hosted a diverse range of performers and events, becoming a central hub for musical activity in the city. Following extensive renovations completed in 2013, it continues to function as a key venue for classical music performances, particularly those presented by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra who are resident there. It is a Category A listed building recognised for its architectural and historical importance.
