The Classic Rock Show 2027

The Classic Rock Show returns to Usher Hall on Thursday 21 January 2027 for another guitar-heavy tour through some of rock music’s biggest songs. The Edinburgh concert starts at 7.30pm.

Rather than paying tribute to one artist, the production recreates landmark tracks from several decades of classic rock with a touring band and full concert staging.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

The appeal is the range. The show moves between major bands and guitar heroes, with close attention paid to the parts, tones, solos, and vocal arrangements that made the original recordings stand out.

Expect a polished live band, a large lighting setup, and a set designed around recognisable riffs rather than deep cuts. It suits audiences who want one night covering several classic-rock favourites instead of choosing a single-artist tribute.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets from £46, including venue fees. Ticket availability and seat choices can change, so use the official event page for the latest options, age guidance, and booking terms.

Location

Usher Hall sits on Lothian Road in Edinburgh’s West End, beside the Traverse and Royal Lyceum theatres. The large Edwardian concert hall is a natural fit for tribute productions with full bands, larger lighting rigs, and reserved seating.

Getting There

West End and Princes Street tram stops are within walking distance, while buses run along Lothian Road and nearby Princes Street. Haymarket and Waverley stations are both reachable on foot or by a short bus or tram journey.

Our Tips

• This is a seated concert, but the atmosphere is closer to a rock gig, so expect a livelier crowd around the biggest songs.
• Check the start time and ticket details again before travelling, especially for dates several months ahead.
• Use public transport where possible, as city-centre parking is limited around all three venues.
