Red Hot Chilli Pipers
Friday, March 13, 2026
Osterhout Concert Theater
7:30 p.m.
Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent.
It鈥檚 The Red Hot Chilli Pipers (that鈥檚 Pipers, NOT Peppers!), the nine piece ensemble of pipers, guitarists, keys and drummers who rock the world with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that leaves audiences and band alike breathless.
Since they walked away with the top prize on the U.K. primetime talent show, 鈥淲hen Will I Be Famous鈥 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 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 trademark sound is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes like 鈥淭he Flowers of Scotland鈥 and contemporary anthems like Queen鈥檚 鈥淲e Will Rock You.鈥 The band has four music degrees from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and all the pipers and drummers have played at the top level in bagpiping.
The Pipers have sold out the Anderson Center twice before and we can鈥檛 wait to welcome them back to celebrate St. Patrick鈥檚 Weekend in 2026!
This performance will feature a special onstage collaboration between the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and local bagpipe groups.
