This unique performance will delve into the awe-inspiring world of colossal prehistoric creatures, translating their immense scale and ancient presence into a vibrant sonic landscape. A lineup of diverse artists will contribute to this immersive experience, crafting a programme designed to evoke both atmosphere and raw energy. The event aims to draw powerful parallels between the sheer grandeur of life that once roamed the earth and the captivating force of music. Attendees can anticipate a performance that is both thought-provoking and exhilarating, offering a fresh perspective on these magnificent ancient beings. Tickets for this unforgettable occasion are available, priced affordably between £3.00 and £14.50, making it an accessible exploration of history and sound.

The exhibition features life-sized 3D sculptures, skeletons and fossils, including the formidable Otodus megalodon, the woolly mammoth Mammuthus primigenius and the giant primate Gigantopithecus blacki. Interactive displays allow visitors to engage with the material as if they were palaeontologists or biologists, while the exhibition also highlights the endangered status of modern giants such as elephants, rhinoceroses and whales.

The National Museum of Scotland’s Giants runs from 31 January to 14 September 2026. Tickets cost between £3.00 and £14.50 and must be booked in advance to secure the lower price.
