Legendary DJ Carl Cox, with over four decades in the global music scene, regards Glasgow's Arches nightclub as a former "home." He recently spoke about his deep connection to the venue, lamenting its 2015 closure. Cox believes the Arches' demise was a substantial loss for Glasgow and the broader dance music community.

The Arches closed after Glasgow's licensing board mandated a midnight curfew, a decision stemming from police reports of drug abuse and disorder. Despite subsequent uses as other nightlife spots, plans are now in motion to transform the space into a bowling bar.
