The MacDonald Brothers bring the Sound of Scotland back to Aberdeen Arts Centre in January 2026!

This spectacular show - celebrating the brothers' 20th anniversary on stage - will feature some of Scotland's best-loved tracks live on stage.

Here's what 5D. said when the brothers appeared here earlier this year: "The evening had the feeling of a traditional Scottish ceilidh when everyone is welcome to get involved and sing along, although none of us deserve to be on the stage as much as the very talented MacDonald Brothers... I know I am not the only one that’s proud of our glorious country and all the amazing music that it has produced through the years."

🎄 For many, Aberdeen Arts Centre’s pantomime is more than a performance — it’s a festive tradition, a shared experience, and a cultural icon in our city.

Supporting the panto through sponsorship or advertising connects your business with a much-loved event while helping to secure its place for future generations.

Join us in keeping this tradition alive and thriving.
