The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo (REMT) will see the Royal Navy take centre stage as they take hundreds of performers on an incredible journey with their 2024 show.

Throughout August, the appropriately named Journeys show will see the United States Navy Ceremonial make its debut performance, and they will be joined by the Massed Bands of His Majesty's Royal Marines.

"Audiences are in for a night to remember," said Creative Director at the REMT, Michael Braithwaite.

He said: "Journeys is a vibrant celebration of connection between peoples and cultures.

"As the Tattoo continues to evolve, so do the performers who light up the stage in August.

"I can't wait for audiences to see the results of the hard work put in over the last year from everyone involved in the show.

"Journeys merges the traditional military elements that the Tattoo is known and loved for, along with modern touches through creative projection, technology, costume design and music inspirations to create a truly impactful performance."
