The Lincoln Theatre is excited to welcome the Red Hot Chilli Pipers back to our stage!
Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it carries its own health warning!
It’s Bagpipes. It’s Rock. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets the poet Robert Burns. Where rock anthems sit comfortably alongside the great tunes from the glens and the mountains of Scotland.
It’s the Red Hot Chilli Pipers -- an internationally-renowned ensemble consisting of pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers -- who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless.
Since they walked away with the top prize on the primetime TV talent show When Will I Be Famous in the U.K. in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven't stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Formed in 2002, the Chillis have fast become a global phenomenon, taking their signature "Bagrock" sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked-up Bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres.
Their trademarked sound includes traditional pipe tunes -- like "The Flowers of Scotland," "The Hills of Argyll," and "Amazing Grace" (done Chilli-style, of course!) -- and contemporary anthems like Queen's "We Will Rock You," "Clocks" by Coldplay, "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol, "Let Me Entertain You" by Robbie Williams, and a fantastic rock medley of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" and AC/DC's "Thunderstruck."
