The Royal Highland Show partners with The Reeling
A major new partnership is set to bring one of Scotland’s contemporary folk festivals to the capital for the very first time.
For one day only, on Saturday 20 June, the Royal Highland Show will partner with trad-music festival, The Reeling, at the Royal Highland Centre.
The line-up for the event will include Dougie MacLean, Breabach, Dlù, Elephant Sessions, Kinnaris Q and Skippinish.
Mark Currie, director at the Royal Highland Centre, said: “This is an exciting partnership opportunity for us and signifies the direction we are going in as we continue to build and strengthen our event and festival offering.
“The Royal Highland Show weekend is the perfect platform for an event like this.Over the past three years, the musical element has become a real draw, and we know that partnering with The Reeling will only build on that momentum.
“Bringing one of Scotland’s most exciting trad-music festivals to Ingliston for a special Highland Show edition feels like a natural evolution, and we’re proud to be working with The Reeling to create something new and ambitious as part of the Show weekend.”
The Royal Highland Centre welcomes more than one million visitors every year. As well as hosting the Royal Highland Show, which attracts over 220,000 visitors to Ingliston each year across the four-day event, the venue has become a destination for live music. This August, it will host Biffy Clyro, Florence and the Machine and new festival, Heather on the Hill.
Advance tickets for The Reeling event are now available to buy, on the Royal Highland Show website. Combined Royal Highland Show and The Reeling entry tickets are priced at £75. The Reeling-only tickets are £45, with a VIP upgrade costing an additional £30.
