Revealing the nightclub's closure, Michele Pagliocca, owner of The Shed, said the decision was 'incredibly difficult'.
He said: "The decision to close has been incredibly difficult, but it’s the right time for us to say goodbye to this chapter of 26 Langside Avenue.
"We are so grateful to the incredible community that has supported us over the years.
"From our regular patrons to those who visited for a one-off night, everyone has played a part in making The Shed what it is.
"It’s bittersweet, but it’s also a time to celebrate all we’ve achieved together."
