Tattoo has planned to Stepped-off in China in 2020



The organizers of one of the biggest lures at the Edinburgh festival, the tattoo, are wanting to expand wide-reaching, sooner or later holding the event across Asia, the Middle East, and North and South America. Event Fans who want to join this iconic festival can buy Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.

Though the Edinburgh tattoo, which opens in August, is ineradicable identified with Scotland’s capital, from the lone piper on Edinburgh Castle’s fortifications to the massed pipe bands on the esplanade below, the arrangers of the spectacular show are self-assured there is craving to host it abroad too.

Negotiations are underway with the Chinese government and promoters to hold the tattoo in China in 2020. A team from the tattoo is the direction for China in the autumn to fix up plans to stage it in three cities, Beijing, Shanghai and possibly Guangzhou. It would be a co-production with the Chinese government and Chinese promoters. 



The Edinburgh tattoo, which started in 1950 and is a charity, has become a platform for British forces and their counterparts from around the world and been a success for the last two decades, appealing viewers of about 220,000 at the event and 100 million on television.

In a conference with the Custodian at the tattoo headquarters in Edinburgh, Brig David Allfrey, who has been in control of the tattoo since 2011, said, I had loved to do North America. I had loved to do India. I had loved to go to places like Brazil that are important to the UK. South America is so amusing.

We have such a stimulating heritage and aristocratic in that part of the world. Practically all the South American countries have been heartened by Scots by miners and engineers from our landmasses.
Allfrey contends there is value to the UK from the tattoo not just as a platform for the military, but in rapports of tourism, trade and investment, and soft diplomacy.

He said I vacillate to call it soft power because soft power has associations for people, but it is unquestionably dominant at a very, very gentle level.

Enquired if the China event will categorically go ahead given the failure of the proposed trip to the Gulf States, Allfrey said he would not regard anything as for certain until he stepped off the plane in China in 2020.

A truly Scottish Exhibition | the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo


EDINBURGH Military tattoo, as we approach the castle, we feel the electricity in the air. The walls loom above us, atop a storm-swept crag. The scene would have been dark and gothic in the penny dreadful rather than a pure architectural sense but for the surreal green light washing over these medieval stones. Event Fans who want to join this iconic fiesta can buy Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.

www.edinburghtattootickets.com

Today the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo accommodates an audience of 8,800 every night on its stands, meaning over 200,000 guests would watch the event in the course of one month.
Make that more than 1,200 of them. The pipers and drummers make up most of this not-so-motley crew, at over 250 performers.

The headline act, appropriately named the Massed Pipes and Drums, create a veritable wall of sound. We can’t help but wonder how hundreds of musicians could play in unison and in perfect pitch, no less.

We are in awe of the re-enactment of the Viking invasions of the islands centuries before. Smoke and battle and the trilling tempo maintained throughout by the Hjaltibonhoga Shetland Fiddlers. It’s like the very best action movie trailer, albeit performed live before our very eyes.

Then again, they’ve had practice with these splendid pageants. The very first military tattoo took place in Edinburgh almost 70 years ago. Performed at the Ross Bandstand, Princes Street Gardens, in 1949, it was simply called “Something about a Soldier”.

The guests hail from many of the nations of the world, and so do some of the performers, from France to Japan. Right now the castle wall is lit by a kaleidoscope of rainbow colors; it’s the Indian Naval Band’s turn.

It ends, naturally, with a bang. Fireworks bursting into flames in the sky over the castle. A moment of silence from the audience. The only sound the crackle of the light and smoke show above our heads, allowing us the minutes till the last fireworks fizzles out to contemplate the evening we’ve shared.

Departing as we arrived, this stream of humans as slow as before, a turgid sea. Yet we are chattering as excitedly as before. Oh, the spectacle we have seen! Oh, the pipers and oh the marching band!
The light and dancing and fireworks! The beat of the drums, the rhythm of tapping feet and bodies in flight, the tattoo of the night in our ears and in our hearts.

Sydney has be there an outstanding City in which to host this ground-breaking Tattoo Show. Everything about this production has been extraordinary. This Tattoo has been nearly three years in the planning, it has been designed to place Australia and her heritage at the heart of an extravaganza, with a cast of close to 1,600 and technical support beyond anything we have brought together before. Event Fans who want to join this iconic fiesta can buy Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.



We have been so well supported by the Australian Defense Force – who have helped, amongst so many other things, to gather in all of the Pacific nations cast - and our partners have spared no energy or skill to reach the audience and do the heavy-lifting in the production.

Above all, we have been privileged to use one of the world’s most iconic venues and we have been touched by the warm responses from the audiences, many of whom have traveled huge distances to be with us. Thank you, Australia!

The Australian Defense Force (ADF) has provided a range of ceremonial and logistic support to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo including more than 250 cast members, air and ground transport and co-ordination for participating nations.

General Campbell, of the Australian Defense Force, said, the largest-ever Tattoo in Sydney presented an international cast of talented performers from around the world. It is a unique celebration of music and military tradition in a colorful display of music, dance and military precision.

Participation in the Tattoo allows Australia to demonstrate the professional skills and high performance of our armed forces. I am delighted that the ADF was once again part of this world-class event.

The Edinburgh Tattoo completes its yield to Australia with production partners, Seven West Media and the Michael Cassel Group, as part of its ambitious Strategy for Growth. Announced in 2018, the ambitious growth of the program includes doubling its turnover to £20 million by 2025 as well as additional signposted overseas tours to Canada and China by 2021.

Work is already underway with the business in regular conversations with the UK, Scottish and International Governments, local promoters and support networks.

Young Performer make their way to perform in the Edinburgh Tattoo-2020


Tattoo first staged in 1950, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an event steeped in traditions. Each year, the massed pipes and drums march over the narrow drawbridge, a lone piper plays high upon Edinburgh Castle’s ramparts and the national anthem is performed by military bands. Event Fans who want to join this iconic festival can buy Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.


Yet each the annual outing of the Tattoo offers an inimitable show, with a different cast of troupes summoned from countries across the globe.

After seeing the Imps on the internet he was inspired to get involved. Justin has already ridden his motorbike for the crowds at Switzerland’s Basel Tattoo and has wanted to be part of the Edinburgh from the moment he joined the Imps.

Cast members at the Tattoo rehearse at Redford Barracks from early August, with the chance to watch other acts running through their routines. Justin is excited to see ‘the Kings Guard from Norway and especially the Jordanians as the team toured Jordan at the invitation of HM King Abdullah II. But what he’s most looking forward to is performing at Edinburgh Castle as it is so well-known throughout the world.

There’s a special kudos of having done Edinburgh and its gravitas continues attracting new participants to be part of the legacy and to draw previous cast members back to the esplanade.
One returning performer is Elayne Seaton a Highland dancer with Aileen Robertson School of Dancing, who made her Edinburgh Tattoo debut at last year’s East Meets West themed Tattoo.

I started Highland dancing at the age of three, after trying ballet and having watched Highland dancing on television. I asked my dance teacher if she could teach me the dancing with the quilts on.

At eight I began training in Highland with my current teacher and dance director of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Aileen Robertson. She gave me the opportunity to excel in competitive Highland dancing and passed on her love of choreography to me.

Performing as part of a team alongside dancers from around the world is an amazing experience and the electricity experienced by us after a performance has to be one of the most incredible feelings.
The Imps originated in the 1970s from the Hackney Adventure Holiday Project when one of them found a dysfunctional old motorbike. Today, looking resplendent in bright red jackets and white helmets, the troupe of youngsters perform internationally.

A sentiment no doubt familiar to Connie Roxburgh who is a member of Edinburgh Tattoo stalwarts Erskine Stewart Melville Choir. The Edinburgh school choir first performed as part of the Tattoo and have been invited back each year since.

Where does the word "Tattoo" come from? | The Royal Edinburgh Military tattoo


In the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries field musicians were very important to military commanders to relay orders throughout the battle.

The Taptoo was firmly entrenched united facet of the repertoire identified within the eighteenth-century military because the "duty" that comprised the flute, bugle and drum calls used to regulate camp and garrison activities.

In the 17th century the word "Tap-too" was encountered by the English Army when fighting in the Low Countries, or the Netherlands, during the 100 years’ war.

 The phrase: "doe den faucet toe" virtually translated means: "put the faucet to", or "close or turn off the tap". It conjointly was utilized by the Dutch for "shut up" or "stop, cease".
In the evening, the Tattoo consisted of the military band parading through a garrison town to alert the taverns that it was a curfew for the soldiers, the beer taps should be cut off, and the soldiers should return to their barracks.

The seventeenth-century predates the apply of constructing purposeful military housing. Soldiers were billeted where lodgings could be obtained. Col. Hutchinson issued the subsequent order in 1644 to mitigate the late night orgiastic that will occur attributable to the dearth of management of their superiors.

By the 18th century, barracks were constructed. The "Taptoo" or "Tattoo" was losing its original meaning and was becoming simply a signal for lights out. In 1777 Thomas Simes in his Military Course for the govt and Conduct of Battalion write.

The Taptoo beats at 10 o'clock nightly in summer and 9 in winter; the troopers should then repair to their quarters or barracks once the non-commissioned Officers of every squad decision over their roles and each man should stay there until reveille the next morning.

Later a Scottish musician, James Oswald published a collection entitled 40 Marches, Tattoos and Night Pieces for two German flutes, violins or guitars as performed by the Prussian and Hessian Armies. These show that the term Tattoo might describe either the last duty decision of the day or a night of diversion.
