Rock Choir members perform beneath The Kelpies at Helix Park, Falkirk, conducted by a blonde female choir leader on 27 June 2026

Members of Rock Choir perform outdoors beneath The Kelpies at Helix Park in Falkirk, Scotland, on Saturday 27 June 2026. A blonde female choir leader stands in the foreground with one arm raised, conducting the large mixed group of singers arranged in rows across the paved plaza. The performers wear matching black T-shirts carrying Rock Choir’s yellow star emblem, creating a strong visual contrast against the pale paving, green landscape and dramatic grey sky. Behind the choir rise the two monumental steel horse heads known as The Kelpies. Designed by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott, the 30-metre-high structures were completed in 2014 and celebrate Scotland’s horse-powered industrial and agricultural heritage, particularly the heavy working horses associated with canals, haulage and industry. The sculptures stand beside the Forth and Clyde Canal within The Helix, a large public park linking communities between Falkirk and Grangemouth. The performance brings together community singing, public art and an internationally recognised Scottish landmark. Rock Choir is known for large, accessible contemporary choirs whose members perform popular songs without the need for formal auditions or musical notation. The image captures the energy and inclusiveness of group singing, with participants of different ages taking part in a public outdoor performance. The broad plaza provides space for the singers, conductor and portable music equipment, while visitors and surrounding parkland remain visible around the group. Heavy cloud overhead adds drama to the scene and emphasises the scale of the metal sculptures.
