What is the live music scene like in Edinburgh?

Question

I've looked at a few ticket websites and there doesn't seem to be many big bands visiting the city so are they missing something or are there no major music venues? And if there isn't any venues now, are there any plans for anything and where is the nearest place with a big music scene?

Answer 1

Here are some Bands coming to Edinburgh Castle. You might have heard of a few. This, along with the Playhouse, is one of the major music venues in Edinburgh.
