Have you ever wished you could hear music from all the greatest musicians on one stage? From Lizzo to Radiohead, Dua Lipa to Bruce Springsteen, there’s something for everyone coming to The Studio stage in Edinburgh, performed by the best a cappella talent in the country - no instruments required!

If you loved Pitch Perfect, then this show is ready to bring your love of riff-offs to a whole new level by bringing over 100 voices together as vocal harmony groups from UK universities compete in an exhilarating Quarterfinal in the hopes of becoming World Champions at the Grand Finals in New York.

The US may have birthed the modern a cappella scene, but the UK is ready to take the crown this year as musical skill, showmanship, and creativity overflow from all corners of the UK.

The Varsity Vocals ICCA is a premiere tournament dedicated to showcasing the art of student a cappella singing and providing top-notch a cappella groups with valuable feedback from our highly qualified judges. Our young vocalists have the opportunity to share their talent with an international audience, develop relationships with each other, and cultivate the art of a cappella singing as well as a lifelong love of music.
