About This Event

The Fratellis will headline a special Night Afore Party at Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh on 30 December 2026. The gig marks the band's Hogmanay debut and celebrates 20 years since their seminal album Costello Music. Tickets are priced to be checked on the official website.

Making their Edinburgh's Hogmanay debut and marking 20 years of seminal album Costello Music, The Fratellis headline a very special Night Afore Party beneath Edinburgh Castle! One of Scotland's most iconic live bands, The Fratellis burst onto the scene with their era-defining debut album Costello Music in September 2006, delivering anthemic hits including Chelsea Dagger, Whistle for the Choir and Henrietta. With an unmistakable energy and a feel-good live show, this is set to be an unforgettable night underneath Edinburgh Castle to kick-start 2026 Hogmanay celebrations. Plus very special guests to be announced. The Fratellis said: ""It's such an honour & privilege to be asked to perform at this year's Hogmanay celebrations in a city that we hold so close to our Hearts"
