International exhibition of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

The first public military tattoo in Edinburgh was titled "Something About a Soldier" and took place in 1949 at the Ross Bandstand in the Princes Street Gardens.

Now, Edinburgh Tattoo is just closer to its 70th birthday that’s are celebrating in August 2020. The Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets can be booked online and the performances will take place from the 7-29 August 2020 at Edinburgh Esplanade Castle.

The first official Edinburgh military tattoo, with eight items on the program, took place in 1950. It attracted some 6,000 spectators seated in simple benches and scaffolding structures around the north, south and east sides of the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle.

In 2018, the capacity of the stands was able to accommodate a night audience of 8,800 people, allowing 220,000 people to watch the multiple live performances

International Exhibition:

In 2018, the Edinburgh Tattoo was to be televised in 40 countries, which would allow around 100 to 300 million people to see the event on television worldwide. In Britain, the BBC broadcasts the event every year, with comments in 2009 and 2010 provided by BBC Radio Scotland presenter Iain Anderson.

Bill Paterson has provided comments since 2011; before 2009, commented Tom Fleming, not missing a year between 1966 and 2008. In Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) traditionally retransmits the Tattoo on New Year's Eve, although it breaks with tradition.

The 2006 Edinburgh Military Tattoo was released one day earlier on December 30, the 2007 Edinburgh Tattoo was released even earlier on Christmas Eve, and the 2009 Tattoo was released two days after New Year's Eve on January 2, 2010. These changes have been made so that the CBA can expand its media coverage of local New Year celebrations.

Charity Fund:

The Edinburgh Tattoo is run for charitable causes and in 2017 it was estimated that over the years, £ 10 million has been donated to artistic, military and civil charities, such as the Charity Fund of the 'army. The biggest advantage, however, has been that, according to an independent tally, it generates £ 88 million in revenue for Edinburgh's economy each year.

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo's official magazine, Salute, is distributed free of charge to sponsors, Tattoo friends, and guest artists.

Performance structure:

Each performance begins with a fanfare, usually composed for this year's show. The Massed Pipes and Drums then occur, walking through the castle gatehouse and performing a set of traditional bagpipes. Then, the acts presented in the show occur individually.
