TICKETS NOW ON SALE FOR OUR 2026 SHOW: A CALL TO GATHER

We’ve closed the drawbridge on our 75th anniversary Show, as tickets for next year go on sale.

We’ve now announced that tickets for our 2026 Show, A Call To Gather, are now on sale. Next year’s Show will run from 7-29 August 2026 and promises to bring audiences from across the globe together in a celebration of community, culture and creativity.

The announcement follows the close of our spectacular 75th anniversary season, The Heroes Who Made Us, which attracted sell-out crowds to the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade throughout August 2025. Over 220,000 spectators attended in total, travelling from across the world to experience one of Scotland’s most iconic cultural events.

Our 2025 Show was the first under new Creative Director Alan Lane, who placed the heroes that have shaped both the Tattoo and wider communities at the heart of the narrative. Featuring military bands from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Poland, Ukraine and the United States of America, the production combined music, theatre and spectacle to deliver a Show more immersive than ever before.

From royalty to sporting legends and stars of stage and screen, The Heroes Who Made Us attracted a host of notable attendees, including The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Scottish tennis champion Andy Murray, Fringe Festival favourite Jason Byrne and Outlander actor Sam Heughan.

Looking ahead, A Call To Gather will continue to innovate while honouring tradition, bringing together allies and friends from home and abroad in a production that embodies the Tattoo’s unique ability to convene cultures.
