Simply Red: 40th Anniversary

At the SEC, we’re always looking for ways to make your experience even better. While we continue to keep safety and security our top priority, we're introducing new security screening technology to help make entry smoother and more seamless. Check the information below on how it works, so you can spend the minimum time waiting and the maximum time enjoying your visit.

Evolv Express is a contactless security screening solution that highlights threat items, while ignoring harmless personal items, as you walk through at a natural pace.

How does it work?

1. Follow instructions from our team
2. Keep all personal belongings with you during the screening process
3. Simply Walk through the screening system; there's no need to stop unless directed to by security
4. Have your ticket ready for scanning

If you have a medical condition that may limit certain security procedures, or use a wearable or implanted medical device, please inform staff as you approach and they will provide an alternative screening method.

Don’t want the night to end? Join the afterparty directly after the show! Enjoy snacks, cocktails, and late-night vibes.

Clydebuilt is just a short walk from the OVO Hydro, located inside the SEC Centre and will be open straight after the show until 1:00am.

18+ only. Access is on a first come-first served basis.
