Red Hot Chilli Pipers & Rura - Tartan Parade Celebration Concert

Red Hot Chilli Pipers are in Edinburgh, for one night only in 2025, so be prepared for a night of exhilarating music and dance, a huge celebration and after party to Edinburgh’s inaugural tartan parade.

A unique brand of 'bag rock' (that's bagpipes plus rock, if you were wondering) with stirring tunes and energetic performances. Expect everything from 'Flower of Scotland' to Coldplay's 'Clocks', via AC/DC and Deep Purple.

This blazing rock band has a show so hot it should carry its own health warning!

The Red Hot Chilli Pipers have fast become a global phenomenon, rocking far-flung shores from Melbourne to Milwaukee and everywhere in between. They’ve spent the last 20 years perfecting their phenomenal live act with sell out shows across the globe.

RURA are a multi award-winning act, and one of Scotland’s most popular folk-based bands. The quartet’s compellingly fiery, rugged yet refined and progressive instrumentals on fiddle, Highland pipes, flute, guitar, keyboards and bodhran has placed them firmly at the forefront of 21st century Scottish folk, and a mainstage highlight at the world’s leading folk music festivals for fifteen years, touring across Europe, Canada, Asia Australia and New Zealand.RURA returned to stages across the UK and Europe in 2023 with their hotly anticipated fourth studio album Dusk Moon.By far their most collaborative record to date, Dusk Moon is a continuation of the creative journey RURA embarked upon in 2018 with producer Euan Burton, with the release of their critically acclaimed album In Praise of Home. Renowned for cinematic arrangements that draw from people and landscape throughout Scotland, this  spellbinding performance at Usher Hall is not to be missed.

“One of the most exciting bands on the Scottish folk scene”(★★★★★ Songlines),
