A popular city centre nightclub is hosting one final party this weekend before shutting its doors for the last time in November.
The owners of Kokomo, which opened on West Regent Street in 2013, announced the club would be closing several weeks ago.
Now, they have revealed plans for a fitting send-off.
“Kokomo has always been about the people - the energy, the laughter, the late nights, and the unforgettable moments,” said Dominika Kobusinska, the marketing manager for the group.
“We’ve had the privilege of being part of Glasgow’s heartbeat for over a decade, and that’s something we’ll always be proud of. While this chapter closes, what we built together will always be part of the city’s story.”
This summer, the venue was put up for sale, with a listing asking for an annual rent of £95,000.
The site has a main and secondary club room, as well as a VIP area, and can hold up to 400 people.
Kobusinska added: “We want this to be a thank-you to Glasgow - for every night out, every cheer, and every person who made Kokomo what it was.
“The love and loyalty our city has shown us has been incredible, and we’ll be raising a glass to that.”
In 2015, pop star Madonna was forced to flee the venue after several hours of dancing as fire alarms were tripped at the nearby Bamboo club.

At the time, John Blaen, creative director at KOKOMO told the Daily Record: "It's fantastic to have an artiste of Madonna's stature choose our venue for her private party. It was a privilege to have her in the club and see her having such a good time.”
The dancers were having a fantastic time and one of them even brought a skateboard with them.”
One onlooker said: "No one realised it was Madonna coming out the club and by the time they recognised her she'd sped away into the night."
