Set against the dramatic silhouette of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo brings together the finest military bands, dance ensembles, and precision drill teams from around the world. Every August, this iconic festival transforms the Esplanade into a dazzling stage of sound, movement, and emotion capped with breathtaking fireworks, state-of-the-art lighting, and the poignant silhouette of the Lone Piper marking each finale.
As one of the crowning jewels of the Edinburgh Festivals, the Tattoo is a global celebration of military heritage and international artistry. With performers from over 50 countries and a live audience nearing 220,000 each year, its reach extends far beyond Scotland, drawing in millions via broadcast, from soldiers’ precision to Highland dancers' flair, all interwoven in a stirring, unforgettable performance.
