Britain’s biggest indoor international tattoo, with over 1,000 performers, returns to the Barclaycard Arena this month, and we’re giving you the chance to be part of the action.

Over 1,000 performers – including international marching bands from Belgium, The Netherlands, Ireland and the UK will join field gun teams, the Royal British Legion Riders, exciting Flyball Dog Racing display, and the parade of massed standard bearers, to name but a few, for this year’s Tattoo which runs from Saturday 26th - Sunday 27th November.

This year’s special event brings together marching bands from Europe, as well as those from our own British Armed Forces. Representing The Netherlands will be The Flora Band, and joining them will be the Royal Band of the Antwerp Police together with the Band and Pipes of the Irish Defence Forces. From the British Armed Forces come the Combined Bands of the Corps of Royal Engineers and the Massed Band, Pipes and Drums of the Army Cadet Force. A taste of Scotland will also arrive in Birmingham, as the Massed Pipes and Drums and Highland Dancers join this year’s line-up. Celebrating their 75th anniversary, the Air Training Corps Massed Band will also join the Tattoo this year along with the popular National Youth Marching Band.

Complementing the music of the massed bands will be the thrills of the exciting displays including the Inter-Service Field Gun Competition, the speed and agility of the dog-racing in the British Flyball Association competition, and The Royal British Legion Riders motorcycle display. The United Kingdom Disco Display Team will also perform their energetic and colourful routines to a packed audience. The Tattoo would not be complete without the ever-popular Spectacular Grand Finale featuring the 1000 plus performers and the Parade of the Massed Standards as well as the Royal Air Force Cosford Queen’s Colour and Escort, the traditional Land of Hope and Glory, the Evening Hymn and the Lone Piper. This year, there will also be special guest appearances by vocal soloists Captain Gary Chilton (from The Soldiers) and Staff Sergeant Dave Barnes (as seen on The Voice).
