Showcase Scotland Expo have an opportunity for artists to tour in Germany and Scandinavia – this will be for two artists in 2025 (26 Nov to 9 Dec) and two more artists in 2026 (Nov/Dec, exact dates tbc). 

Ceòlas Scottish Music Nights is a Showcase Scotland Expo initiative being run in partnership with the Scottish Government, Concert Connections and Minnamurra Music. It was set up to bring the best in Scottish talent to Germany and help artists develop this market, and we have since expanded the scope into other Northern European territories.

Last year’s Ceòlas tour saw two artists perform across Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands, including Baltoppen Live in Ballerup, a showcase at Folkelarm in Oslo, and a St Andrew’s Night concert in Berlin.
