Edinburgh Events: Concerts, Tours & Football

Edinburgh is one of the few cities in our data where tours and sightseeing rival the traditional entertainment categories — walking tours and attractions make up a significant share of the calendar alongside sport and music.

Edinburgh Castle Esplanade tops our venue list, hosting everything from the Military Tattoo to major outdoor concerts against the castle backdrop. Edinburgh Playhouse anchors touring Broadway and West End productions, while Easter Road and Tynecastle Stadium — home to Hibernian and Heart of Midlothian — bring Edinburgh's football rivalry onto the calendar. Edinburgh Walking Tours and Harry Potter Tours reflect just how much of the city's visitor economy runs through guided sightseeing.

Between the castle esplanade, two rival football grounds and a genuinely large tours scene, Edinburgh's calendar looks different from almost every other city in our data.
