The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

19, 20 and 21 February 2026

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Eden Park in February 2026 for The Royal Edinburgh Tattoo.

 We know many of you have questions about accessibility, bus and coach drop-offs, event timings, and other event logistics. These details are currently being finalised, and we’ll update this page as soon as possible.

 While accessible parking straight outside the venue will be limited, we are planning additional support – including golf carts and on-site assistance – to help make the event as accessible as possible.

 Eden Park is well-serviced by public transport with trains and buses running regularly to and from the stadium. We encourage guests to make use of these convenient options wherever possible.

 Thank you for your patience. We’ll have more to share soon.

One of the world’s most iconic and spectacular live events, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, is coming to Auckland for the first time ever — exclusively at Eden Park in February 2026.

In celebration of its 75th anniversary, this global phenomenon will deliver one of its most ambitious international stadium productions to date, bringing together over 1,000 performers in a breathtaking showcase of music, culture, precision, and pageantry.

Renowned for its stirring music, military discipline, dramatic visual effects and cultural storytelling, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo draws more than 230,000 spectators annually in Scotland and reaches an international broadcast audience of over 100 million. When it last visited New Zealand in 2015, a capacity crowd filled Wellington’s stadium — and now, for the first time, Aucklanders will have the opportunity to experience the magic live at Eden Park.

‘The Heroes Who Made Us’, the Tattoo’s landmark anniversary show, will feature the Massed Pipes and Drums, UK military musicians, over 30 international acts and bands from the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and beyond, including the fan-favourite Top Secret Drum Corps and performers from the New Zealand Defence Force. Set under the stars at New Zealand’s national stadium, the show will blend traditional Scottish heritage with bold, contemporary choreography and world-class production, including immersive sound design, cutting-edge lighting, and stunning visual storytelling.
