Concerts and clubbing in Edinburgh

As Edinburgh lines up popular, widely followed shows for the next months, here’s a quick guide if you’re eyeing concerts in Edinburgh, clubbing in Edinburgh or simply planning events in Edinburgh. In late June, Alter Bridge at Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline brings heavyweight riffs nearby, and Dropkick Murphys at Edinburgh Corn Exchange return with Celtic‑punk energy. Ethel Cain at Usher Hall leans into cinematic slow‑burn songs, while uk producer Lone takes the club spotlight that weekend with nimble breaks at Cowgate — see Lone at Sneaky Pete’s. July follows with modern blues from Christone “Kingfish” Ingram at The Queen’s Hall, chamber‑pop storytelling with The Divine Comedy at Usher Hall, and an indie return by The Maccabees at Edinburgh Corn Exchange. Art‑pop explorer David Byrne at Edinburgh Playhouse bridges Talking Heads roots and solo work, and chart‑ready craft shapes Charlie Puth at Usher Hall. A compact snapshot of what’s drawing attention across venues in and around the city.
