What To Expect
The Cure’s Edinburgh show is part of the Summer Sessions run at Ingliston, using the outdoor Royal Highland Centre site rather than a city-centre arena. It should be one of the biggest alternative gigs in Edinburgh that month, with the longer outdoor event format giving more space and a later finish than a standard theatre date.
Summer Sessions lists the event under its Edinburgh programme, so expect festival-style entry, standing areas and the usual large open-air concert setup.
Tickets & Entry
Tickets are listed through the official Ticketmaster page and the Summer Sessions event page.
Summer Sessions says no one under 14 is permitted. Those aged 14 and 15 must be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or over, with at least one adult per four young attendees.
Location
The show takes place outdoors at the Royal Highland Centre at Ingliston. For Summer Sessions shows, the concert area is within the wider showgrounds site.
Getting There
Summer Sessions says parking is available at the Royal Highland Showgrounds and should be booked in advance via Ticketmaster, with car park tickets priced at £15. Coach travel is also offered from selected cities, and Ingliston Park & Ride is close by for tram users.
Give yourself extra time on the day, especially if you are arriving close to doors opening.
Our Tips
- Book parking in advance if you plan to drive.
- Wear layers, as late-August outdoor shows can cool down quickly after sunset.
- Check the Summer Sessions page for stage times closer to the event.
- Bring only what you need and look over entry rules before you travel.
