Big name music acts perform live and there is a spectacular firework display to mark the New Year.
The Scottish tradition of singing "Auld Lang Syne" at New Year has passed to many countries. The original poem was reinterpreted by the famous Scottish bard, Robert Burns, and was later set to music.
This event is understandably popular, and if you are interested in getting a ticket you should look at the official Glasgow Loves Christmas website:
