Pitchblack Playback - Bob Dylan ‘Blonde on Blonde’
Glasgow Science Centre partners with Pitchblack Playback to transform The Planetarium into a space for deep listening, presenting Bob Dylan’s ‘Blonde on Blonde’ (60th Anniversary) in complete darkness.
For one night only on 26 July, experience Bob Dylan and one of the greatest albums of all time - uninterrupted, immersive and in complete darkness, inside Glasgow Science Centre’s Planetarium.
Hear the album played loud, in uncompressed audio, through the Planetarium’s powerful, sound system.
No phones; no talking; no signing; no distractions; just you and the music.
Pitchblack Playback sessions have been described as:
"This sounds great” — Rick Rubin
"A fabulous idea" — Jay Kay, Jamiroquai
"The optimal way to listen to an album" — Max Richter
"This might just be my favourite new thing to do" — Nihal, BBC Radio 5 Live
Your ticket includes a recycled cotton Pitchblack Playback eye mask, enhancing the darkness of the Planetarium experience.
As recommended by The Guardian, GQ, Time Out and BBC 6 Music.
*Please arrive by event start time as latecomers will not be admitted and refunds will not be offered*
