Each summer, Edinburgh Castle’s Esplanade is transformed into a unique 8000 capacity venue. Set high on a volcanic rock, Edinburgh Castle has stood guard over Scotland’s capital city for centuries. It has witnessed many great events in Scottish history and today is among the world’s most famous visitor attractions.

July 2009 saw another 3 sell-out shows from the legendary Crosby, Stills and Nash, Duran Duran and Simple Minds and plans are well underway for a series of spectacular shows in July 2010.
