D&D web series Critical Role announces live show at Edinburgh Castle - here's how to get tickets & presale
Their first time in Scotland, the full founding cast of Critical Role will adventure to Edinburgh Castle for a live show in 2026.
Critical Role have announced a new live tour for 2026, including a show in Edinburgh.
Part of the Echoes of Exandria tour, the live version of the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) web series will take over Edinburgh Castle next July.
With unique stage design, each live show will be led by Game Master Matthew Mercer and include the full founding cast of Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel and Travis Willingham.
Having began as a roleplaying game among friends, Critical Role recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. A number of licenced works based on the show have been released throughout the years, including best-selling games, comic books and the critically acclaimed Prime Video animated series The Legend of Vox Machina, which is based on the series’ first campaign.
The 2026 Edinburgh Castle show will mark the group’s first ever time in Scotland. During the show, fans will join Critical Role as they explore a new Exandria-set one shot on the grounds of the historic venue.
Exclusive merch will be on offer in each city and cosplay is strongly encouraged. For those interested, here’s everything you need to know about tickets for Critical Role’s Edinburgh show.
