He was joined by Minister for Veterans Affairs David Elliott, Brigadier David Allfrey and a chorus of bagpipers. The event will take place next October at ANZ Stadium.
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a global phenomenon viewed annually by a television audience of more than 100 million people that promises to provide a major boost to the NSW economy. It involves 1,200 performers from Scotland and around the world in a performance that includes a mix of music, ceremony, military tradition, theatre and dance set against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
“The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has only toured outside of Scotland a handful of times, so I am delighted the NSW Government has secured this international visit exclusively for our Harbour City,” Marshall said.
“This event is expected to attract more than 59,000 overnight visitors delivering $37 million in visitor expenditure,” he added.
Elliott said it was a unique opportunity for Australians to experience the iconic military performance.
“I encourage everyone to plan a trip to Sydney next year to see this truly incredible event and support our own Australian military and Police bands, which will be part of the show,” Elliott said.
