new shows added in brisbane, queensland
One of the world’s most spectacular and iconic live Events, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo presented by RACQ, is set to dazzle Australian audiences in an unforgettable showcase when it comes exclusively, and for the first time ever, to Brisbane in February 2026, in celebration of its 75th anniversary. It will be one of its most ambitious international Stadium productions to date.
Renowned for stirring music, military precision, cultural displays, and dramatic performances set against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a global phenomenon, drawing over 230,000 spectators annually in Scotland and over 100 million more worldwide through international broadcasts. Hundreds of thousands have flocked to previous Australian editions of the Tattoo in Sydney (2005, 2010, 2019) and Melbourne (2016).
On February 12 & 14, 2026, Suncorp Stadium will proudly host a full-scale production of the Tattoo’s 75th anniversary Show, ‘The Heroes Who Made Us’ — complete with its signature Scottish bagpipes, massed military bands, Tattoo Dancers, and international performers from across the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. This emotionally charged Stadium spectacular will bring together over 1,000 of the world’s finest performers to showcase stirring anthems, traditional Scottish heritage and bold, contemporary choreography in celebration of the values that connect us all — honour, community, resilience and pride.
Led by the magnificent Massed Pipes and Drums featuring UK Military musicians, the Show will feature over 30 bands and acts from around the world including fan-favourite Top Secret Drum Corps and performers from the Australian Defence Force amongst many more.
Making its return to Australia for the first time since 2019, this will be the Tattoo’s first-ever performance in Brisbane — and one of its most ambitious international Stadium productions to date. Blending the timeless traditions of the British Armed Forces with modern performance and world-class production, the Tattoo continues to evolve, while remaining rooted in history. Cutting-edge lighting, immersive sound design and stunning visual imagery will elevate the performance experience, all set under the stars at one of Australia’s most iconic Venues.
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is supported by the Queensland Government, Tourism and Events Queensland and Brisbane City Council through Brisbane Economic Development Agency in partnership with Suncorp Stadium.
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo welcomes RACQ as presenting partner for the 2026 exclusive Australian performances.
