Performed on Edinburgh Castle’s esplanade, the show will once again welcome local and international audiences to this much-loved cultural and musical showcase, with music, dance, culture, and military traditions.
This year’s milestone event promises to celebrate the past, while imagining the future of the Tattoo. Taking audiences back to where it all began in 1950, with the British Army taking on the prestigious role of the Lead Service, the show will present music, dance and precision performance that make up the last 75 years of the Tattoo story and beyond.
A cast of over 800 UK and international performers will take to the world-famous Edinburgh Castle Esplanade. Joining the iconic Massed Pipes and Drums, Military Musicians and Tattoo Dancers will be Band of the Polish Border Guard, Top Secret Drum Corps, United States Honour Guard Drill Team, Ukraine Naval Forces Orchestra, and United States Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps. Each act is set to bring a flavour of the heroism from their country, regiment or tradition, celebrating those who have contributed to their stories.
From the musical prowess to stunning imagery captured through light and projection, audiences are in for a captivating evening of entertainment.
