Edinburgh Military Tattoo Spectacular to Play Additional Show, 10/9

Due to overwhelming popular demand, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in association with the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground and supported by Events NSW today announced that a fourth show has been added. The world's most famous spectacular event will now perform four shows on 4, 5, 6 and 7 February 2010 at the Sydney Football Stadium.

Tickets for the fourth show, to be held on Sunday 7 February will go on sale at noon tomorrow, Friday 9 October. With 1,500 performers from around the world, this new production will be the biggest ever seen in the event's six decade history. The full line up of performers will be announced on Thursday 22 October 2009.

This exclusive Sydney season is part of the 60th anniversary year celebrations and came about after the outstanding success of The Edinburgh Military Tattoo -a Salute to Australia held in 2005 and attended by over 150,000 people.

Titled "The Edinburgh Military Tattoo - Celebrating 60 Years of Valour, Mateship, Glory" the event will take as its central theme the close relationship between Australian and British Defence Forces who have fought alongside each other in numerous conflicts. The show, which will be staged against the remarkable million dollar replica of Edinburgh Castle, will be developed under the Tattoo's new Chief Executive and Producer, Major General Euan Loudon

In 60 years of its history the world's most famous Tattoo has left Edinburgh only twice. "The Edinburgh Military Tattoo attracts the world's best massed pipes and drums. Australians will see the best Tattoo ever staged, right here in Sydney" says Creative Director, Leo Schofield. "A centrepiece of the program will reflect the history and camaraderie between Australian and British Defence Forces."
