Curran, from Bonnyrigg in Midlothian, did not make a plea and was remanded in custody. He will now appear before the court in the next eight days.
Enquiries revealed a number of people were involved in the alleged disturbance. A 41-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment and a 46-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a minor assault.
She is expected to appear before Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal. Tributes were paid to dad-of-three Peter after his death outside the Omni Centre on Friday.
Flowers as well as football scarves were left by loved ones outside nearby hotel The Glasshouse. Posting a picture of the tributes at the scene on her Facebook page, Peter's sister, Trinity Sizer, said: "We love you brother. Until we meet again."
She had earlier posted: "We are all in shock and can’t believe he’s gone. It feels like a dream, I’m waiting on him walking through the door but know he’s never coming back.
"I’ll always remember you for the good times and bad. You were my brother who was taken too soon. We can’t believe this has happened to us, it’s something that you see in the news not happening to you.
"I’m always going to ring you, message you and tell you big news. Even though you're not going to answer. I know you're listening. We all deeply miss you so so much and wish you were here with us.
"We took some flowers up with hand written notes on for you to tell you how much you meant to us and how much we miss you. We’ve come together as a family and we’re all going to look after your three babies.
"We will forever and always love you Peter it’s never going to be the same. Save a space next to you in heaven for me. LOVE YOU BIG BRO."
Peter's fiancée Bethan Weekly said in a tribute on social media: "Words cannot describe the pain this has caused, heartbroken is a massive understatement. I love you forever."
