Edinburgh Nightlife And Entertainment

Whether you prefer modern or traditional music, a night out in Edinburgh City Region is an essential experience for those who make it their home.

According to an Amstel/Virgin Radio poll, ‘Edinburgh is the UK’s place to visit for the perfect night out’. The club scene offers a spectrum of sounds (techno, indie, house, electro, hip-hop and soul) provided by resident and international guest DJs.

Catch a folk session on any night of the week in a friendly Old Town pub or visit a dedicated jazz venue or comedy club. Watch a West End musical at the Edinburgh Playhouse or take in a concert at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.

The city region also includes a selection of medium to large scale venues and theatres.  The Corn Exchange is one of the main venues for the T on the Fringe festival in August.  Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, Murrayfield Stadium and the Ross Theatre in Princes Street Gardens consistently attract world famous international and domestic music artists.
