The performance will pay tribute to seafarers that brave the ocean to travel across continents bringing people and cultures together.
Led by their new Principal Director of Music, Lieutenant Colonel Huw Williams and Corps Drum Major, Warrant Officer First Class Chris Mace MVO, musicians and buglers from The Massed Band of His Majesty’s Royal Marines will transport audiences on a musical voyage with sea shanties and traditional Naval tunes with a contemporary twist.
Performed between the 2 - 24 August 2024, audiences can expect the magnificent sounds of His Majesty’s Royal Marines Band and acts from across the globe bringing diverse cultures and vibrant energy to this highly sought-after spectacle. Don’t miss the chance to witness the culmination of their hard work.

Warrant Officer First Class Chris Mace MVO shares: “With the Royal Navy as lead service for The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Show this year, we are honouring the Navy service and it’s brave personnel.
“While HMS Queen Elizabeth is docked for the summer, The Massed Bands of His Majesty's Royal Marines has taken the opportunity to use this as their rehearsal space. We hope everyone around the Firth of Forth enjoyed their preview of what they can enjoy on the Esplanade, making sure to get tickets to see the band in its full glory this August.”
