Highland Dance meets Haka at the Edinburgh Tattoo in Auckland
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo brings its signature spectacle at Eden Park for three unforgettable nights in Auckland to a close, following a near sell-out run in Brisbane. More than 1,000 performers from 15 countries lit up the famous All Blacks stadium in The Heroes Who Made Us, celebrating 75 years of Tattoo tradition with stirring massed pipes and drums, precision drill, and a powerful fusion of Scottish and Kiwi culture.
Dame Cindy Kiro, Governor-General of New Zealand, took the salute on Opening Night as audiences witnessed a breathtaking showcase of cultural heritage, pride and talent on a truly global stage.
Alan Lane, Creative Director at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo said: “We were welcomed in Auckland like we were coming home. The determination & talent of the cast and the addition of local Auckland talent ensured that audiences could only see this show here. A unique experience. And they cheered us on throughout the 3 shows. We’ll never forget our time at Eden Park.”
