Young Scots Trad Awards Winner Tour 2026 – A Scottish Folk Firework!Scottish folk music is more than just sound – it’s a way of life, passed down through generations and deeply rooted in the nation’s culture. In February and March 2026, audiences across Europe will have the chance to experience the magic of this musical heritage live, as four outstanding award winners and finalists – including from the renowned BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year Awards – take to stages across Germany.
Since its founding in 2018, the Young Scots Trad Awards Winner Tour has captivated audiences with its unique blend of tradition and innovation. In the first half of each concert, the musicians showcase their individual artistry in stunning solo performances that reveal the depth and diversity of Scottish folk. In the second half, they join forces to ignite the stage with a rousing folk firework of powerful tunes and infectious rhythms.
The Young Scots 2026 lineup features Chloë Bryce, whose soulful voice and expressive fiddle playing enchant audiences; Calum McIlroy, who takes listeners on an emotional journey with his guitar and song; Megan MacDonald, whose captivating accordion sounds win hearts everywhere; and Fionnlagh Mac A’ Phiocair, whose pipes and whistles create goosebump moments and bring Scotland’s living traditions to life.
This tour is not only a tribute to the new generation of Scottish folk musicians but also a celebration of creativity that carries this timeless tradition into the present. Expect evenings filled with emotion, energy, and unforgettable music!
In 2026, the Young Scots will perform in Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Sweden, and Denmark.
