The Red Hot Chilli Pipers at The Hanover Theatre & Conservatory for the Performing Arts

March 11th 2023, 8:00 pm

90 mins plus intermission

Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it carries its own health warning!

It’s Bagpipes. It’s Rock. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets the poet Robert Burns. Where rock anthems sit comfortably alongside the great tunes from the glens and the mountains of Scotland. It’s The Red Hot Chili Pipers (not the Peppers)! They are the most famous bagpipe band on the planet – ever! An internationally renowned ensemble consisting of pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers, they have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless.

The band has four music degrees from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and all the pipers and drummers have played at the top level in bagpiping. Formed in 2002, The Chillis have fast become a global phenomenon, taking their signature ‘Bagrock’ sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked up Bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademarked sound is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes – like “The Flowers of Scotland”, “The Hills of Argyll”, and “Amazing Grace” (done Chilli-style, of course!) — and contemporary anthems from legendary classic rock groups like Queen, Coldplay, Robbie Williams, AC/DC and many more. Put on your tartan kilts, feel the Chilli heat and come rock with them!

Tickets are $32, and $42 depending on seat location. Contact the box office at 877.571.SHOW (7469) for more information.
