The Undertones want to try an iconic pub after their Glasgow gig.
The legendary punk band will perform at the O2 Academy on Saturday, September 28 this year.
Now bassist Michael Bradley has revealed he would like to pay a visit to The Laurieston Bar at Bridge Street in the Gorbals while in the city.
The Southside bar is just a four minute walk from the venue - which they will play in to mark the 45th anniversary of Teenage Kicks with a series of shows in the UK.

Speaking to the Glasgow Times ahead of the show Michael said: “I think playing to a Glasgow crowd is just so different, maybe just for us or maybe they always have that special atmosphere.
“You get the impression that the audience really loves you, they are so excited and loud it is great.
“I would hang out with everyone after it, they are all up for talking to you and some even try and buy you drinks.”
Speaking about the city’s nightlife he said: “I’ve been to the Pot Still pub a few times and enjoyed it there.
“There’s an interesting pub I think Billy Connelly has spoken about that I would like to try. The Laurieston! I think I might need to nip in and get a drink.”

The Irish nostalgic icons emerged from Derry in 1976 as the result of five friends John O’Neill, Damian O’Neill, Feargal Sharkey, Billy Doherty and Michael Bradley learning how to play rock and roll at school.
They signed with Sire Records and ‘Teenage Kicks’ was re-released, resulting in the band's first appearance on Top Of The Pops.
Michael said: “I would say to my younger self just keep going, something will turn up.
“When we started up we were school friends, it felt like a right of passage to start a band.
“I still have the friends I did then, it is great craic and the whole experience has been an absolute dream.
“We never get fed up of playing Teenage Kicks, it is a great record that we are really lucky to have.
“There’s a record which was followed up to it that we always play as well called ‘Get Over You’ which I think is just as good. But it is up to the fans to decide what our biggest hit is!”
