Join the internationally acclaimed Red Hot Chilli PIPERS (NOT the Peppers!) as they celebrate their 25th Anniversary World Tour—a milestone honoring a quarter century of electrifying audiences around the globe with their signature sound: Bagrock. It’s where the thunder of rock meets the soul of Scotland, blending iconic rock anthems with the timeless melodies of the Highlands in a concert experience unlike any other. 

Featuring an explosive lineup of world-class pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers, the Red Hot Chilli PIPERS have become one of Scotland’s greatest musical exports. Their award-winning musicianship and infectious stage presence have captivated audiences from New York to Sydney, Beijing to Berlin, earning a worldwide reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the road today. 

Since winning the UK’s When Will I Be Famous? in 2007, the band has taken their trademarked Bagrock sound to sold-out audiences across six continents. Their exhilarating performances fuse traditional favorites like “Amazing Grace,” “Flower of Scotland,” and “The Hills of Argyll” with unforgettable rock and pop hits including “We Will Rock You,” “Clocks,” “Chasing Cars,” “Smoke on the Water,” and “Thunderstruck,” creating a concert that is equal parts celebration, spectacle, and party. 

Over the past 25 years, the Red Hot Chilli PIPERS have earned Gold and Triple Platinum records, amassed millions of online views, won multiple Best Live Act in Scotland awards, and performed for royalty, celebrities, and fans in more than 40 countries. Their exhilarating blend of virtuoso musicianship, infectious energy, and unmistakable Scottish pride continues to win over audiences of every age. 

The 25th Anniversary World Tour is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of one of the most unique and exhilarating live acts in the world. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or experiencing Bagrock for the very first time, prepare for an unforgettable night of music, laughter, and nonstop excitement.
