New Year celebrations no longer mean getting drunk, snogging strangers and waking up on someone else's floor. Thanks to a beefed up programme of events in Glasgow and Edinburgh, it’s now possible to enjoy street theatre, fireworks, bands and DJ sets before you get drunk, snog strangers and wake up on someone else’s floor. Over the next four pages, we highlight the best Glasgow has to offer on Hogmanay, from Teenage Fanclub to a Freddie Mercury soundalike. For Edinburgh events,
see our free supplement.

Top 10 tribute band names
ABBAIanche Highly amusing Australian ABBA tribute featuring Lars Ole on bass and Hans Fallov on drums.
AC/CD The world‘s greatest AC/DC tribute band have since changed their name to DC World which is frankly not as funny and makes them sound like a comic shop.
By Jovi UK-hased Bon Jovi homage with a healthy sense of humour.
Elton Jack An Australian Elton John tribute established by former John Lennon impersonator Lance Strauss. Nearvana Close but no cigar for this Nirvana tribute.
Once More Into The Bleach UK-based Blondie impersonators who easily beat their American counterparts Parallel Lines in the name stakes.
Shania Twin North America’s leading Shania Twain look and soundahke.
Tiny Tina Pint-sized Tina Turner tribute.
Sabbra Codabra Canadian Black Sabbath wannabes.
The Stereophonies UK-based Stereophonies tribute.
