There will be no bouncy castles or face painting in sight; instead a ‘cosmic and space exploration’ theme will run through this day-long programme of music events. Man High, for example is a specially commissioned piece of music inspired by Captain Joseph Kittinger and his mission to test astronaut equipment by jumping out of a balloon at 102,800ft. The concert will be accompanied by jaw- dropping footage of the jumping (pictured), followed by the contemporary music group Icebreaker playing their version of Brian Eno’s Apollo: For All Mankind. ■ Royal Concert Hall, City Halls and Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow, Sat 24 Sep.
