Edinburgh’s Hogmanay are thrilled to welcome UK dance legends Underworld as headliners of Hogmanay in the Gardens 2026.
Making their Edinburgh Hogmanay debut, Underworld’s only Scottish performance of 2026 will include a special performance of their iconic dance anthem ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’ - a song ingrained in Scottish culture since featuring in Danny Boyle’s seminal film ‘Trainspotting’ in 1996. Their Hogmanay performance will follow a series of rave-reviewed shows earlier this year which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the legendary track.
For the first time ever in the event’s history, the world-renowned Midnight Moment will be soundtracked live by Underworld on the Main Stage in West Princes Street Gardens, creating an unforgettable light, projection and firework extravaganza set below Edinburgh Castle as Scotland rings in 2027 with the ultimate dance soundtrack at one of the world’s biggest New Year celebrations. Plus very special guests to be announced.
"We've celebrated New Years all around the world. But Hogmanay with the Scots is always EXCEPTIONAL. We only hope we can give some of that special back to the Scottish people and celebrate the only way we know how. Edinburgh, Let's Dance." - Rick Smith and Karl Hyde of Underworld
