Wishbone Ash

Wishbone Ash plays The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh on Friday 25 September 2026. Venue doors open at 7pm, the performance starts at 8pm, and tickets are listed at £37.75.

The band’s twin-lead guitar sound remains the main reason this tour stands apart, with two guitar lines working together rather than one player simply taking the solo role.

Event Details

Why the Twin-Guitar Sound Matters

Wishbone Ash helped establish a style in which two lead guitars could harmonise, answer one another, or carry separate melodic lines at the same time. That approach became influential across hard rock, progressive rock, and later heavy metal, where paired-guitar arrangements became far more common.

The Edinburgh set can draw from more than five decades of records and touring. The band continues to present itself as a working live act rather than a reunion built around one album, so newer material may sit alongside the catalogue that established its reputation.

The Queen’s Hall is a good fit for this type of guitar-focused concert. It is large enough for a full rock production, but the room is compact enough for the detail in the paired guitar parts to remain clear.
