Moving Pictures - Rush tribute, Scotland
Saturday 19th September 2026
Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.com/macarts/moving-pictures-rush-tribute/e-bgqojk

“If you missed seeing RUSH live, MOVING PICTURES is as close as you’ll ever get to the real thing.” Moshville Times.

These guys (and girl) are one of the hardest working tributes on the planet touring the UK, Europe, Brazil and Canada, including Lakeside Park for Neil Peart's family and Massey Hall for RUSHfest Canada in August 2025.

2026 celebrates 50 years of RUSH’s 2112 album. This show sees Moving Pictures play the 2112 suite in full as well as songs from every RUSH era.

Whether you're a die-hard Rush fan or simply appreciate great live music, don't miss your chance to experience the magic of Moving Pictures in person.

If any of our friends are up in Aberdeen on the 20th Nov show the The Little Kicks some support. The Little Kicks are good friends of Mac Arts and Stowed Out Festival. We know that MMD research has huge support locally so share this with your Aberdeen friends.

GIG FOR KEV
Our friend Kev McBeath was recently diagnosed with MND, so we’re putting on a gig for him at Drummonds Aberdeen on 20th November.

Kev has been a friend for a long time, and for Scott and Andrew, he goes right back to the start. They played music with Kev at school, where he was the guitarist in their first band. A lot has happened since then.

We’ve got The Killing Tide joining us on the night, who also know Kev and are from the same area, along with Bob Will (Right Hand Left), another of Kev’s friends.

All the money raised from the gig will go directly towards helping Kev and his family.

Just Announced: Blue Rose Code
Saturday 13th March 2027
Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.com/macarts/t-ejqvkmk

Blue Rose Code is returning to MacArts, and this time bringing his full band!

Following headline performances in ‘24 at Cambridge Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell with his nine-piece Caley Soul band as well as a sold out bravura show for Celtic Connections at Glasgow’s 1,400 cap Pavillion Theatre, Wilson has spent the last few months reconnecting with his roots in live club performance.

Touring solo, duo, or quartet in 2025, the shows have workshopped new songs for 2026’s new Blue Rose Code studio album. The direction of travel seems to be closer to the broad Scots Folk/Singer Songwriter style that brought him to work with the likes of Karine Polwart, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ewan McGregor, to write for Steve Knightley, and open for heavyweights like Van Morrison, Deacon Blue and the Proclaimers.

In any combination; solo, duo, quartet, Big Caley Soul Band, Blue Rose Code simply has to be seen live.

Standing Event

14+, Under 16's to be accompanied by an adult 18+
