The Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust today made the eagerly anticipated announcement of the dates and booking information of the return to Sydney of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2010.

This new information follows the announcement in March this year by the Premier of New South Wales, Nathan Rees, that the Edinburgh Military Tattoo will return to Australia for performances at the Sydney Football Stadium in February 2010. The new production will be the biggest ever seen in the event’s six decade history.

The return visit – which is exclusive to Sydney – is produced by the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in association with the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust and supported by Events NSW. It follows the resounding success of The Edinburgh Military Tattoo – A Salute to Australia in 2005.

The Tattoo, with 1500 performers, returns to Sydney next year as part of its 60th anniversary celebrations. Titled “The Edinburgh Military Tattoo – Celebrating 60 Years of Valour, Mateship, Glory” the event will take as its central theme the close relationship between Australian and British Defence Forces who have fought alongside each other in numerous conflicts.
