The Cirque du Soleil has announced it will perform seven shows at the SCC Hydro in 2018.

Taking place between September 5 to 9, the acrobatic stunt show will arrive in Glasgow as park of their UK tour, OVO.

The cast is comprised of 50 performing artists from 17 countries specialising in many acrobatic acts.

It includes Alanna Baker from the UK, who plays the role of the Black Spider in the show.

She was crowned gymnastics European champion in 2011 and won bronze in the World Championships in 2012.

Baker, who has been training since she was five years old, has travelled around the world with OVO to countries.

OVO, meaning "egg" in Portuguese, follows the lives of insects after a mysterious egg turns up in their home.

Pre-sale tickets are available from Tuesday via Cirque Club, tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday 15 December via the Cirque du Soleil website or at www.livenation.co.uk.
