From 12 to 15 February 2026, over 1,000 performers from across the globe will converge on the stadium for four consecutive shows of The Heroes Who Made Us – the Tattoo’s milestone 75th anniversary production.
The spectacle promises to be everything fans have come to expect from Edinburgh’s iconic summer tradition: massed pipes and drums, stirring military bands, precision performances, and cultural displays that celebrate both Scottish heritage and international talent. The Brisbane production will feature performers from the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, and New Zealand.
What makes this event particularly special for Milton and the broader Brisbane community is the involvement of local talent. Brisbane Boys’ College Pipe Band, based in nearby Toowong, has been announced as the only school in Australia and New Zealand invited to perform at the shows. It’s a remarkable achievement for the college.
To mark the three-month countdown to the Brisbane shows, Year 10 student Jules Crane made headlines by becoming the first person in the world to play bagpipes atop Brisbane’s Story Bridge – a stunning publicity moment that highlighted both the student’s talent and the college’s unique role in this historic event.

Presented by RACQ, the event represents a significant addition to Brisbane’s major events calendar. The production will showcase the signature elements that have made the Tattoo famous: Scottish bagpipes, stirring anthems, massed military bands, Tattoo Dancers, and international performers bringing together the best of Scottish tradition with cultural performances from a global cast.
For local residents, this means a world-class performance right on their doorstep at one of Australia’s premier sporting venues in Milton.
