	Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band With over 120 million records sold, 19 Grammy awards and an Oscar to show for his 44-year musical career, the man who has been known from the very start as 'The Boss' probably doesn't need to do another tour or write another song in his life - yet he's still going.

Starts: 29 Aug 2009 \| Ends 29 Aug 2009 Location: Strathclyde Country Park, Motherwell, Glasgow view website


	Proms in the Park BBC Proms in the Park returns to Glasgow Green for another spectacular evening of music and song. Presented by Jamie MacDougall, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra will be joined by some very special guests including violinist Nicola Benedetti, mezzo soprano Karen Cargill and the NYCoS National Girls Choir. Starts: 12 Sep 2009 \| Ends 12 Sep 2009 Location: Glasgow Green, Glasgow view website


	Coldplay and Jay-Z Beyonce and Gwyneth's husbands team up for a genre-bending night of massive hits and massive personalities. Jay-Z headlined Glastonbury festival last year and, despite the controversy surrounding his performance, succeeded in converting the crowds of rock and indie fans to his creative style of hip hop. Equally at home on enormous stages are Coldplay, who have been leading stadium-sized sing-a-longs of their epic and moving ballads since their first album. Following the two acts' performance of the track 'Lost' at the Grammy awards earlier this year, an on stage collaboration is certainly not out of the question. Starts: 16 Sep 2009 \| Ends 16 Sep 2009 Location: Hampden Park, Glasgow view website


	Matthew Bourne's Dorian Gray Acclaimed choreographer Matthew Bourne brings his latest dance theatre production to Glasgow, following its unprecedented success at the Edinburgh International Festival last summer.

Starts: 29 Sep 2009 \| Ends 03 Oct 2009 Location: Theatre Royal, Glasgow view website

Starts: 30 Sep 2009 \| Ends 30 Sep 2009 Location: SECC, Glasgow view website
