The bright red lights of the SSE Hydro tinted the entire area red, including the Finnieston Crane.
The SWG3 also pledged its support to the campaign, after it was forced to postpone or cancel most of its events due to the coronavirus pandemic.
On Twitter the official account for the venue wrote: "SWG3 are supporting the #WeMakeEvents #LightItInRed campaign, calling on the governments much needed support of the live events industry, currently in Red Alert."
