Scottish musician Nathan Evans recently shared his excitement at the news that his chart-topping hit, Wellerman, will be featured in The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo this summer. The 29-year-old became a household name when his sea shanty went viral on TikTok in 2020, leading to a record deal and a Number 1 single in multiple countries. Now, it has been announced that the popular track will be performed by His Majesty's Royal Marines Band, along with traditional navy tunes and sea shanties.
In response to the news, Nathan expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am incredibly honored to have my song featured in the Tattoo. As someone who grew up in Scotland, the Tattoo has always been a source of pride and to have my song included is truly a dream come true. Since the release of Wellerman, my life has changed dramatically, and this is the cherry on top. I am eagerly anticipating seeing the song come to life as part of the spectacular performances this summer."
This year's Tattoo performances will take place from 2-24 August, with visitors from around the world coming to witness the Journeys Show. For eager fans, special preview night tickets will be available for purchase starting on 24 June, with discounts of up to 50% on standard ticket prices. The theme of this year's show is "journeys," celebrating the connections made through music, dance, culture, and military traditions. The show is a continuation of the success of the past two years, under the creative direction of Michael Braithwaite.
Speaking about the show, Michael said, "The Tattoo has a rich history of showcasing world-class military and civilian performances, but we also hold innovation and Scottish culture in high regard. Nathan's well-deserved success and passion for Scottish music perfectly embody everything the Tattoo stands for. He has taken a 19th-century sea shanty and brought it into the modern era to great acclaim. We are thrilled to present Wellerman, performed by the Band of His Majesty's Royal Marines, as a highlight of the journey our audience will embark on this year."
With the Royal Navy as the lead service, the show will pay tribute to the brave seafarers who travel across oceans to bring people and cultures together. Tickets for the show can be purchased now at edintattoo.co.uk/tickets or by phone at 0131 225 1188. Additionally, tickets for the 2025 show, which will commemorate the 75th anniversary of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, will go on sale in August during the Journeys Show.
