Celtic Pipe Band presents: Unplugged

The Celtic Pipe Band proudly presents Unplugged: The Concert — a bold, stripped-back celebration of the sound, spirit, and soul of one of New Zealand’s most dynamic pipe bands.

Back by popular demand and answering the crowd’s call for “more pipe band,” Unplugged is a fresh take on a traditional artform, bringing you closer than ever to the beating heart of the music. This intimate concert strips away the spectacle to spotlight the raw power of the Highland bagpipes, the driving rhythms of the snare, bass, and tenor drums, and the unmistakable CPB live energy through music.

From haunting laments to foot-stomping modern sets, Unplugged fuses the old and the new. Featuring special guests, rare instrumentation, and never-before-seen collaborations. Watch as performers young and old take the stage in full traditional regalia, proudly wearing our Braveheart tartan and sharing the legacy of a band that lives and breathes tradition and innovation with a twist.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering the magic of pipe band music for the first time, Unplugged promises a stirring night of rhythm, heritage, and unforgettable sound.
