Skerryvore

Few bands can turn a festival field into a celebration quite like Skerryvore. Now the acclaimed Scottish eight-piece return to Australia with their new album, Beautiful Mistakes, bringing more than two decades of exhilarating live performance to a new collection of songs that fuse Celtic tradition with contemporary pop and rock.

Three-time winners of Scotland's "Live Act of the Year" award, Skerryvore combine soaring bagpipes, fiddles, accordions and whistles with anthemic vocals, driving rhythms and infectious melodies, creating a sound that is rooted in tradition but unmistakably modern.

In 2025, Skerryvore marked their milestone 20th anniversary with the biggest headline show of their career at Scotland's historic Floors Castle. The landmark event drew fans from around the world and was later captured on the acclaimed live album Skerryvore XX: Live At Floors Castle.

Now, with Beautiful Mistakes, Skerryvore begin their next chapter. From major festivals and concert halls across Europe and North America to sold-out audiences in Australia, they have earned a reputation for performances that unite audiences in song, dance and shared celebration.

Featuring new music alongside the anthems that have made them one of modern Celtic music's defining live acts, the Beautiful Mistakes Australian tour promises Skerryvore at their uplifting, exhilarating best.
