Line-up announced for The Royal Highland Show presents The Reeling, taking place on Saturday 20 June at the Royal Highland Centre
A major new partnership is set to bring one of Scotland’s most exciting 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 renowned trad music festival The Reeling to bring The Royal Highland Show presents The Reeling to the Royal Highland Centre.
Following the success of the Royal Highland Hoolie over the past three years, organisers at the Royal Highland Centre have teamed up with The Reeling, the celebrated festival founded in Glasgow, to deliver a bumper trad music experience during the iconic Show weekend.
The one-day Highland Show edition of The Reeling will shine a spotlight on the very best of Scotland’s contemporary trad scene, with a line-up featuring Breabach, Dlù, Dougie MacLean, Elephant Sessions, Kinnaris Q and Skippinish.
Advance tickets can be purchased from 9.00am Tuesday 3rd March via the Royal Highland Show website with combined Royal Highland Show and The Reeling entry priced at £75.

Gate prices will be higher and availability cannot be guaranteed, so early booking is advised.
The Royal Highland Centre – Scotland’s largest indoor and outdoor venue – delivers some of the biggest events in the country, welcoming more than one million visitors every year.
As well as hosting the Royal Highland Show, which welcomes over 220,000 visitors to Ingliston each year across the four-day event, the venue has become a major destination for live music.
This August, it will welcome a series of Summer Sessions featuring Biffy Clyro, Florence and the Machine and brand-new festival Heather on the Hill, created by Nathan Evans and Saint PHNX.
The arrival of The Reeling signals another significant step in the venue’s ambition to grow and diversify its festival and large-scale event offering.
Mark Currie, Director at Royal Highland Centre, said: “This is an incredibly exciting partnership opportunity for us and really signifies the direction we are going in as we continue to build and strengthen our event and festival offering at the Royal Highland Centre.
“The Royal Highland Show weekend is the perfect platform for an event like this. Over the past three years, the musical element of the Show through the Royal Highland Hoolie has become a real draw for Show-goers, 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.”
Founded by Michael Pellegrotti, co-director of Skye Live, The Reeling has quickly established itself as a flagship celebration of contemporary Scottish folk music since launching at Rouken Glen Park in 2023.
Now, the festival makes its move to Scotland’s capital for the first time.
Michael Pellegrotti, Founder of The Reeling, said: “We’re delighted to partner with The Royal Highland Show to bring The Reeling to Edinburgh for the first time. Both events celebrate the very best of Scotland, making this a natural collaboration.
“With a fantastic line-up of artists and so much to experience at the show, it’s set to be a great day out for everyone.”
The Royal Highland Show presents The Reeling takes place on Saturday 20 June at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston.
Visitors captivated by moving immersive experiences on opening weekend at the Royal Highland Centre
Art lovers have flocked to the opening weekend of two atmospheric multimedia experiences which plunge viewers into the colourful worlds of a pair of iconic artists.
Beyond Van Gogh and Beyond Monet are being staged at the Royal Highland Centre until Friday, 2 January 2026 – with Edinburgh hosting the Scottish premiere of Beyond Monet which celebrates the life and work of the ‘Father of Impressionism’.
The two experiences were officially opened on Friday evening during a special press and VIP launch event at the prestigious Edinburgh venue.
They will run on different days throughout the five-week residency, and tickets for both are being sold separately. The attraction is closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Along with the stunning 360-degree visual and audio experience in the 10,000sq ft main space, each experience will include the chance to linger in captivating new reflection room which extends the magical world of both artists.
Produced by Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group, Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience celebrates the groundbreaking work of the French artist in mesmerising and colourful fashion.
In the immersive impressionist extravaganza, cutting-edge technology breathes new life into more than 400 of the legendary French painter’s canvases, taking visitors on a spectacular and unforgettable audio-visual journey through his captivating and colourful world.
Beyond Monet brings together some of the artist’s most famous paintings – including Poppies, Impression: Sunrise and his exquisite Water Lilies series – with lesser-known works which all swirl around the space, offering a fresh and exciting new look at much-loved masterpieces and a deeper connection with Monet, his subjects and his innovative technique.
Taking inspiration from Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, the designated home of Monet’s works, visitors can freely roam the Infinity Room where they are transported inside the paintings themselves to the accompaniment of a moving original score.
Meanwhile, Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience brings together more than 300 of the Dutch post-Impressionist icon’s paintings blended with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists, with people able to wander through iconic works – including The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Terrace of a Café at Night – as they came alive around them.
The visit is also enhanced by the addition of a new ‘reflection’ room. All art lovers will be able to enjoy walking through Waterlily Alley, an enchanting recreation of Monet’s gardens at Giverny, and a bloom-flanked Sunflower Alley paying tribute to Vincent Van Gogh.
Edinburgh visitors are only the second to experience the new space which received its world premiere in Liverpool this summer.
In addition, the residency at the Royal Highland Centre includes two bespoke Relaxed Sessions, designed with support from Scotland’s We Too! Inclusive events charity, to enable neurodivergent visitors to enjoy both experiences to the full.
The Beyond Monet Relaxed Session will be between 11am and 2pm on Tuesday, 16 December and the Beyond Van Gogh Relaxed Session on Wednesday, 17 December from 2.30-4.30pm.
And a special Lothian Service 98 shuttle will run to the venue on Saturdays and Sundays, departing from the Assembly Rooms in George Street, with stops at Shandwick Place and Haymarket and then following the same route as the number 31 bus.
The shuttle will operate every half an hour outbound from 9.15am to 4.45pm, and will make the return journey from 11.10am to 5.40pm. Full details of the exact route and fares are available from www.lothianbuses.com
This is Annerin Productions’ third visit to Scotland following Beyond Van Gogh at Glasgow’s SEC in2024 – where it won critical acclaim and was seen by 50,000 visitors, and at the P&J Live in Aberdeen this summer.
It is the first time the entertainment company has staged anything in Edinburgh.
