NSW SECURES ROYAL EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO

The sound of bagpipes and drums will ring out across Western Sydney next year, with the NSW Government securing The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in an Australian exclusive.

Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall was joined by Minister for Veterans Affairs David Elliott, Brigadier David Allfrey and a chorus of bagpipers to announce that the famous Tattoo will take place next October at ANZ Stadium.

Mr Marshall said the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a global phenomenon viewed annually by a television audience of over 100 million people, promising a major boost to the NSW economy.

“The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has only toured outside of Scotland a handful of times, so I am delighted the NSW Government has secured this international visit exclusively for our Harbour City,” Mr Marshall said.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, which is expected to attract more than 59,000 overnight visitors and deliver $37 million in visitor expenditure, involves 1,200 performers from Scotland and around the world in a performance that includes a mix of music, ceremony, military tradition, theatre and dance set against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
