Belfast International Tattoo

About

Join us at the SSE Arena, Belfast, for a spectacular showcase of music, precision, and tradition as we bring together world-class performers from across the globe. The Belfast International Tattoo 2025 promises an unforgettable celebration of military music, dance, and cultural heritage like never before.

Performers this year include Tveit Union Musikkorps from Kristiansand in Norway, Hunter Moore Memorial Flute Band from Newry, Ballylone Concert Flute Band from Ballynahinch, The South Australian Precision Team, The Conscript Band of the Finnish Defence Forces in Finland, St John's College Pipes and Drums Band from Harare in Zimbabwe, Fling Together Dance Company from USA, The Chelsea Pensioners, UK, Kathryn Stewart's Highland Dance Display Team from across Northern Ireland and the County Armagh Accordion Band.

The Belfast International Tattoo has its roots firmly based in the history, music and dance traditions of the Ulster Scots people who have spread their wings around the world and have gone on to have such a major influence and direction on those countries and people they have come into contact with around the world.

When we staged our first Belfast Tattoo in 2013 one of our main objectives was to give our local bands and talent a platform to show their ability and talent on the same stage and in the same spotlight as bands and talent we would bring in from around Europe and indeed the world.

We were firm believers that our local bands and talent hit it for six against some of the best bands and talent Europe has to offer and sought to demonstrate this on an international stage.

Ulster has, per head of population, more marching bands than anywhere else in the world. Some of these bands have reputations which extend around the world for their excellence in competition and also produce musicians that have gone on to be world leaders in the chosen field of music.
