If you’ve ever wanted to totally immerse yourself in the Outlander universe, now’s your chance.
Sony Pictures Television’s global phenomenon and its iconic Celtic music from Emmy-nominated composer Bear McCreary are coming to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall for the world premiere of Outlander in Concert: Echoes Through the Highlands.
Tickets for the May 30, 2026 event — kicking off a global tour with more cities to be revealed at a later date — will go on sale Nov. 21 at 10:00 a.m. U.K. time (2:00 a.m. PT) and are available here. It will showcase a live ensemble of musicians and vocalists, including instruments such as bagpipes, fiddles and the hurdy-gurdy, alongside expansive cinematic visuals from the Outlander seasons. The concert will also include footage from the highly anticipated eighth and final season, debuting on Starz in the U.S. on Mar. 6 and on MGM+ in the U.K. on Mar. 7.
Such is the international success of Outlander, starring Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe as beloved characters Jamie and Claire Fraser, that prequel series Blood of My Blood was released to widespread acclaim earlier this year and is returning for a season two.
Composer McCreary, along with the show’s lead creative team, will attend the Edinburgh concert. McCreary’s work includes The Walking Dead and video game God of War. Across seven successful soundtracks, the franchise has generated 500 million streams in 236 territories, with its iconic theme “The Skye Boat Song” surpassing 49 million plays. The Outlander soundtrack remains the best-selling title in Sony Pictures Television’s entire catalog.
“Over the last decade, crafting the musical journey of Outlander has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my creative life,” said McCreary. “[It began] with my wife, Raya Yarbrough, [who] sang the first recording of ‘The Skye Boat Song’… Fans have heard haunting vocals, lively Celtic instruments, and soaring symphonic orchestral gestures merge to tell Claire and Jamie’s story.”
“Now, with Outlander In Concert: Echoes Through the Highlands,” he continued, “they can experience these sounds in real life, performed by world-class musicians and singers. I am honored to collaborate with visionary showrunner Matthew B. Roberts to create a concert experience for fans that blends the magic of eight beloved seasons of storytelling into one unforgettable evening.”
EP and showrunner Matthew B. Roberts added that McCreary’s music score “has elevated our show, deepening the emotional connection between audiences and Jamie and Claire. We’ve put together a beautiful set list,” he said, “and I can’t wait for everyone to experience the music live and feel its magic firsthand.”
“Outlander in Concert extends one of Sony’s most iconic and beloved franchises into a new dimension of storytelling,” said Jennifer Rogers Doyle, executive vp, marketing and franchise management for Sony Pictures Television. “Devoted fans will have the opportunity to relive the series’ unforgettable moments through spectacular visuals and a powerful live score. This special collaboration is a fitting way to continue the Outlander legacy and celebrate the passion that has made the show a global phenomenon.”
The concert will be performed just in time for “World Outlander Day” on Jun. 1, an annual tradition honoring the books by Diana Gabaldon, as well as the series and worldwide fandom.
