“Massive – it really was massive,” enthused The Vamps’ Tour Manager James ‘Fin’ Findlay, reflecting on the stage set-up for the opening night of the band’s UK and Ireland arena tour in Sheffield the night before. Here at Glasgow’s Hydro the available floor space means that the stage has been greatly reduced, yet it is still an impressive set-up. The idea is to give the fans, regardless of their position in whichever venue on the 13 UK dates, a close-up view of the band.
