Glasgow: Tomorrow, Zoe Graham will perform at Glasgow Central Station. This gig aims to encourage commuters to explore new music.
The show starts at 16:15. It’s part of a series of live pop-up gigs by National Rail.
This project helps commuters discover upcoming musical talent. It’s a fun way to enjoy music while traveling.
Interestingly, a recent poll found that 80s rock anthem “Eye of the Tiger” is the top track for Glasgow commuters.
On average, Glaswegians listen to 298 hours of music each year. That’s like traveling from Glasgow to London Euston over 66 times!
Many people rely on music to wake them up or boost their mood. It’s a great way to start the day.
Dr. Michael Bonshor from the University of Sheffield shared that familiar music can create feelings of relaxation and nostalgia.
He noted that we often choose songs that uplift us or help us prepare for work. But too much familiarity can make music boring.
Jacqueline Starr, CEO of Rail Delivery Group, emphasized that music helps customers enjoy their journeys. It energizes them for work or relaxes them on the way home.
To celebrate the railway’s 200th anniversary in 2025, they want to help commuters discover new music for their playlists.
