WHERE EVENTS TAKE FLIGHT

Live Music in Edinburgh

FolkAir is listing 11 live music gigs in Edinburgh over the next three months, all at The Queen's Hall. Next up is EIF 26: Kleio Quartet, Makoto Ozone & Sheku Kanneh-Mason at The Queen's Hall on Wed 19 Aug at 10:00am. 3 of them fall this weekend. Every date, venue and price comes straight from venue and promoter listings and is refreshed daily, so this is what is genuinely on sale right now rather than a fixed editorial round-up. Below the gig table you will also find 25 live music venues in and around Edinburgh, each with its own page covering where it is, when it opens and what is on there next. Every row links through to that gig's own page for the full details and, where the promoter published one, a ticket link.
