Candlelight: Tribute to Ariana Grande

Candlelight: Tribute to Ariana Grande comes to St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Saturday 16 January 2027, starting at 6:30pm. It's a string quartet taking on the music of Ariana Grande, played by candlelight in the cathedral's Gothic Revival interior.

The set is a tentative programme of her songs, and it reaches back across her career. You'll hear the more recent we can't be friends (wait for your love) and yes, and? alongside the older records, with The Way and Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart from her early days. In between, there's no tears left to cry, Love Me Harder, Dangerous Woman, God is a woman, Into You, One Last Time, and hate that i made you love me.

The venue is St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Palmerston Place in Edinburgh's West End. It's a Category A listed building designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and consecrated in 1879, well known for its three spires. These days it hosts classical concerts, recitals, and Candlelight events.

Practical details: the show runs for 60 minutes, and doors open 45 minutes before it starts. There's no entry once the performance has begun, so it's worth arriving early. It's recommended for ages 8 and over, and anyone under 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult. Seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each zone. This is a tribute concert and isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the artist, her estate, or her official representatives.
