Events in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's events programme covers a wide range of genres and formats. Techno and house nights run regularly in the Cowgate, with Sneaky Pete's, Cabaret Voltaire, and the Bongo Club programming weekly events. The Liquid Room and La Belle Angele handle mid-size events spanning electronic, indie, and retro formats.

The Edinburgh Fringe in August fills every venue in the city with shows, club nights, and pop-up events. Hogmanay draws large crowds for New Year celebrations. Outside the peak periods, the city supports a steady programme of club nights, live music, and touring acts. Student nights fill the midweek calendar.
