Fringe 2026 begins this week!

A rotating selection of shows from previous Fringes.

We're incredibly excited that the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 officially kicks off this Friday – we can't wait to see you!

Ahead of the official 07 August start date, more than 1,000 shows are staging preview performances this week. Preview tickets are usually cheaper, so don't be afraid to #MixItUp and try something new!

The EdFringe app is now live for 2026

We're delighted to announce that the official EdFringe app is now back up and running for 2026.

The app is a great way to navigate the festival on the move – you can browse and book tickets, use 'nearby now' to find shows start soon near your location, and 'shake to search' for a random show suggestion.

The app syncs with your edfringe.com account, which means it also stores all your tickets, favourites and preferences.

Please note: For the best user experience, we recommend deleting any previous versions of the app you might have already before re-downloading the 2026 edition.
