More info An Edinburgh trio are set to perform at Glastonbury after forming a performance group just three years ago. Insane Magic - made up of Cameron Gibson, Elliot Bibby and Luke Osey - built a loyal audience through their Festival Fringe performances. Now the group are set to take their magic show to the music festival in June, describing the opportunity as 'an extremely big deal for three local friends'. Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Cameron Gibson, 30, said they felt nervous for their performance but are 'confident in what they do'. He added: "The three of us are magicians and have built up our own careers over the years. In April 2022, myself, Elliot and Luke came together to create a show as a three. "We wrote the whole show and it went really well. We took it to the Fringe and sold out completely in 2023.

We got approached by Glastonbury to perform there and it's been really amazing. "We are playing one of the biggest tents which I think holds about 2,000 people. It's really amazing that we have managed to create something different, new and exciting. "We are still nervous about it but this is a great opportunity and we are putting ourselves out there. We work really hard and we are confident in what we do." Glastonbury Festival takes place from Wednesday June 25 and June 29. The trio are also preparing to perform at Edinburgh Fringe once again this year. A description of their show reads: "After complete sell-outs in 2023 and 2024, Insane Magic (Cameron Gibson, Elliot Bibby and Luke Osey) return with their biggest show yet! Fresh from a smash-hit run at the Adelaide Fringe, the trio bring a brand-new hour of mind-blowing magic, with some fan-favourite classics sprinkled into the mix." You can find out more here.

Edinburgh magicians take centre stage at Glastonbury 2025
Based in Scotland's capital, the three magicians began their careers performing on the Free Fringe, hustling for crowds in pubs, basements, and pop-up venues during the chaos of August in Edinburgh. Fast forward a few years, and their show — which blends magic, mind-reading, stunts, and fast-paced comedy — has become one of the most exciting and talked-about acts on the circuit. Not only did Insane Magic Show sell out every performance at the Edinburgh Fringe in both 2023 and 2024, but they also took their unique brand of chaotic wonder across the world to the Adelaide Fringe Festival in early 2025. Now, they're gearing up for their biggest homecoming yet at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025, playing their largest venue to date. Now, armed with a string of sell-out successes and an even bigger venue at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025, these three friends are gearing up to bring a taste of the Scottish capital to Somerset. 'We couldn't be prouder to represent both Edinburgh and the magic community at Glastonbury,' says Gibson. 'It's incredible that what started as three friends doing a show together for a bit of fun and collaboration has led us to becoming artists at one of the world's biggest festivals.' At Glastonbury, Insane Magic Show will bring everything from impossible illusions to bold mentalism moments, the show promises to be one of the must-see highlights of the festival. For Gibson, Bibby and Osey, the journey feels like coming full circle: from the grassroots energy of the Free Fringe in Edinburgh to the sprawling fields of Glastonbury. And while they'll always be Edinburgh performers at heart, this summer they'll be thrilling a whole new audience under the festival's iconic skies. Don't miss your chance to see how the local lads have turned magic into something genuinely… Insane.
