Edinburgh Summer Sessions
7 Aug 2022 - 14 Aug 2022
Edinburgh Summer Sessions is a summer concert series inside Edinburgh’s beautiful city centre park, one of Scotland’s most popular music series. The festival has brought some of rock, indie and pop’s favourite names, including The 1975, Lionel Richie, Tom Jones, Michael Kiwanuka, Travis, McFly and Simple Minds.
Based in Princes Street Gardens in the heart of the Scottish capital, the festival endeavoured to bring big name acts from Scotland and further afield to Edinburgh for a series of concerts running alongside the Edinburgh International Festival.
In August 2021, the festival announced its planned return in August 2022, with a line-up including Lionel Richie, Michael Kiwanuka, Scottish megastars Simple Minds and Travis, and two shows from the returning Sir Tom Jones.
Edinburgh Summer Sessions 2021 was rescheduled to 2022, due to the coronavirus outbreak. Original tickets remain valid for the new dates. You can read the festival’s statement here
