In 2025, in celebration of 75 years of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, The Heroes Who Made Us will be performed on the iconic Edinburgh Castle Esplanade.
The Show, which will run from 1-23 August 2025, will also see the introduction of a storyteller, who will not only guide audiences through the Show, but immerse themselves in the performance to provide an even deeper and enhanced emotional audience experience.
The Heroes Who Made Us will be the first Tattoo from new Creative Director Alan Lane, who places storytelling at the heart of his creative process. The performance will also nod to Scotland’s proud history in the arts and military connection with Skipinnish’s song ‘Eagle’s Wing’ being performed as part of the finale with the whole cast, supported by state-of-the-art projection and lighting.
With a unique ability, through its performers, music, and setting, to evoke the emotions and stir the senses like nothing else, the Tattoo will wow audiences once again. Your guests will experience the exceptional mix of military precision, awe-inspiring dance and sparkling musical entertainment, intertwined with state-of-the-art projection, lighting and exciting creative elements.
The full line up for the Tattoo will be announced in Spring 2025, however every Tattoo will always feature Massed Pipes and Drums, military musicians, highland dancers and, of course, the iconic Lone Piper. In 2025, the Tattoo will feature Swiss precision drum group, Top Secret Drum Corps.
