Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations go online this year

With no live events planned this year, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations will - for the first time in its history - move to an entirely online celebration.

Produced by Underbelly on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council, the free online series of shows will run from 28 December through to 1 January.

The stay-at-home event series can be streamed via the official website, so Hogmanay fans all over the world can tune in.

The line-up includes former Doctor Who actor David Tennant, Scotland’s Poet Laureate Jackie Kay, Celtic fusion band Niteworks, and Scottish actors Lorne MacFayden and Siobhan Redmond. Further details will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Edinburgh’s Hogmanay is funded by the City of Edinburgh Council, EventScotland, Creative Scotland and the Scottish Government.
