Meet the Musicians Taking our Stage at Hidden Door

29 May 2025

We’re thrilled to share the amazing line-up of emerging musicians selected to perform on the Creative Edinburgh Stage at the Hidden Door Opening Party.

The ten acts were selected from over 60 incredible applications by an independent panel, supported by the National Centre for Music. They showcase the energy, talent and diversity of our city’s creative community.

Meet the Musicians and Hear their Sounds!

Doors open at 6pm, with performances on the Creative Edinburgh Stage running from 7pm until late - come early, stay for the music, and support our incredible line-up of emerging musicians!

Hidden Door is a unique Edinburgh arts festival taking place in unusual, forgotten urban spaces - plus they were winners of the 2023 Creative Edinburgh City Award! For their 2025 festival, they are taking over a huge industrial site in west Edinburgh – The Paper Factory – for five days of live music, visual art, immersive performances and special events. They’re opening up this huge site and making use of the various warehouses, factory floors, offices and outhouses.

And to celebrate our friends at Hidden Door, we are hooking up Creative Edinburgh Members with a +40% discount on tickets to the Opening Party on Wednesday 11 June!
