Terminal V, one of the UK's largest electronic music festivals, will conclude its tenure in Edinburgh with a two-day event at The Royal Highland Centre on April 18 and 19, 2026. According to festival bosses, evolving operational requirements and high delivery costs were among the reasons for ending Terminal V in Edinburgh. Organizers are expected to announce a new festival site location for 2027, though the exact location has not been disclosed.
Terminal V has welcomed more than a quarter of a million fans to the Royal Highland Centre over the last decade. Derek Martin, Terminal V co-founder, said, 'This is a significant moment for us. ' Simon McGrath, another co-founder, explained, 'To deliver the level of event we've produced over the last nine years is becoming increasingly challenging in the current environment.
This is a significant moment for us. Edinburgh has been home to Terminal V since the beginning, and some of our biggest moments have happened here.
' The decision to end Terminal V in Edinburgh was one of the hardest decisions to date for organizers. There are further plans for a global tour of international shows to celebrate a decade of Terminal V, but detailed plans have not been released.
We're incredibly proud of what we've built in Edinburgh, the festival city, over the past nine years, and grateful to The Royal Highland Centre and all of our partners who have supported the brand's growth during this time.
