On 14 July 2026, James Taylor brings his timeless catalogue to the dramatic Edinburgh Castle Esplanade for an unforgettable open-air concert in the heart of Edinburgh. Set against the ancient stone ramparts and catching the long summer light, he will perform intimate acoustic classics and gently soulful new material, creating a warm, communal atmosphere as his guitar and voice float over the esplanade. Fans can expect beloved songs such as "Fire and Rain" and "You've Got a Friend" alongside quieter, reflective moments, all framed by the historic skyline and the buzz of festival-season energy. Concert-goers should secure tickets early, as this unique venue and the artist's enduring appeal mean demand is high, and the night promises to be both relaxed and stirring. Whether arriving from across Scotland or traveling internationally, attendees will find the setting a perfect blend of heritage and music.
