The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2026

A message from our Director

Join us for The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo presented by RACQ—a powerful celebration of culture, heritage and performance, brought to life on a grand scale in both Brisbane and Auckland this coming February.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is more than a show—it’s a global spectacle. Featuring over 1,000 performers from across the world, this 75th anniversary edition, The Heroes Who Made Us, promises a stirring display of military precision, live music, cultural storytelling and dramatic staging. From traditional pipe bands and Highland dancers to modern production and local tributes, this unforgettable spectacle will leave a lasting impression on audiences of all ages.

But the show experience extends well beyond the stadium.

In Brisbane, visitors can enjoy riverside dining, vibrant neighbourhoods, and easy access to natural beauty—whether that’s a stroll through South Bank, a trip to Moreton Island or a day in the Scenic Rim. Over in Auckland, culture meets coast with buzzing waterfront precincts, nearby wine regions, and spectacular volcanic landscapes to explore. Both cities offer the perfect backdrop for a memorable escape built around this extraordinary event.

Discover Brisbane

Brisbane is a city that knows how to summer. Set along the winding Brisbane River and framed by lush parklands and sunny skies, this energetic capital is the beating heart of Queensland—and the perfect setting for unforgettable experiences.

In February, Brisbane delivers classic summer vibes: warm days averaging 29°C, balmy nights and the occasional tropical shower to freshen things up. It’s the perfect climate for alfresco dining, open-air events and riverside exploration.

Wander through the cultural hub of South Bank, where galleries, markets and a man-made beach create a vibrant day-to-night scene. Take in world-class exhibitions at QAGOMA, shop local labels in Fortitude Valley, or catch a live gig in West End. For a fresh perspective, hop aboard a CityCat ferry or enjoy sweeping views from the top of Mount Coot-tha.

Foodies will love the city’s thriving dining scene—from chic rooftop bars to hidden laneway eateries—while nature lovers can explore the nearby Scenic Rim, hike through national parks or take a day trip to Moreton Island for snorkelling, sand dunes and dolphin spotting.

With its relaxed pace, welcoming locals and summer energy, Brisbane is a city that invites you to slow down, explore more, and savour every moment.

Discover Auckland

Where harbours sparkle, volcanoes shape the skyline, and culture meets coast—Auckland is a city made for summer exploration.

In February, Auckland is at its best. Expect warm days averaging 24°C, gentle sea breezes, and long golden evenings perfect for sunset strolls and alfresco dining. It’s the ideal time to discover New Zealand’s most diverse and cosmopolitan city, where natural beauty and urban energy blend seamlessly.

Start your day with a ferry ride across the harbour to Waiheke Island, home to boutique vineyards, secluded beaches and sweeping views. Back in the city, explore the buzzing waterfront precincts of Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter, or climb Mount Eden for panoramic cityscapes. Dive into Māori culture at the Auckland War Memorial Museum, browse local design in Britomart, or get out on the water for sailing, paddle-boarding or dolphin watching.

With bold flavours, vibrant culture and wild landscapes just minutes from the city, Auckland invites you to dive into a summer of contrast—urban buzz one moment, barefoot on the beach the next.
