July: André Rieu in the Netherlands
Join violinist André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra for one of his famous summer shows on Vrijthof Square in Maastricht. Take your seat for an unmissable and extraordinary night of musical entertainment that brings to life the music of 19th-century Vienna and beautiful melodies from opera, musicals, films, and much-loved classics.
Join a trip with Prima, and all the travel and hotel arrangements are taken care of. You'll stay in a four-star hotel in the Eindhoven area on a bed-and-breakfast basis for three nights, with plenty of time to explore the local area and really make the most of your time in the Netherlands.
July: Andrea Bocelli performing live in Italy
Book your seat in the Teatro del Silenzio, a remarkable open-air amphitheatre in Tuscany, for a spellbinding performance from Italy's most famous living tenor, Andrea Bocelli. This year is extra special – it’s the 20th anniversary of the annual spectacle, so sure to be an incredible evening to remember.
An exclusive trip with Prima makes this experience even more exceptional. Not only will you see the concert, but you'll head to Officine Bocelli, the Bocelli family's excellent restaurant, for dinner with wine from the Bocelli vineyards. You'll spend five nights at the four-star Hotel Columbia in Montecatini, from where you can explore the Tuscan cities of Florence and Lucca, perfectly blending the chance to see this wonderful performance with a memorable holiday.

Travel to Scotland in August 2025 for the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo, a glorious music spectacle, watching 1,000 musicians, pipers, drummers, singers, and dancers perform against the backdrop of an illuminated Edinburgh Castle.
Performances take place on evenings throughout August, but if you travel with Prima, you can make a proper trip of it, spending three nights in Glasgow with the plenty of time to explore the city and beyond. Your seat for the Edinburgh Tattoo is included, plus flights from Luton and transfers throughout.
