This historic event will showcase some of the finest musicians and dancers from across Ulster in a two hour show which will allow the artistes and bands to feature and showcase their talents.

The Tattoo will have its roots unashamedly in the traditions of the UlsterScots people but will reach out, through the forthcoming years, to showcase the talents, through music and dance, that UlsterScots people have come into contact with as they have travelled around the world and also those traditions and people who have come to Ulster and had an impact on the traditions of the people of Ulster.

The net has been spread far and wide to bring together the bands and artistes taking place in this year’s event.

No Tattoo would be complete without Highland Dancing and the Belfast Tattoo shall be no different, drawing dancers from all parts of Ulster and down into Dublin.
