Amy Macdonald, Frightened Rabbit & more for Belladrum

Festival Crowd Header

Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival has announced that AMY MACDONALD will make a long overdue return to the festival when she headlines the Thursday night main stage.

In further line-up announcements, FRIGHTENED RABBIT will play an intimate headline set on the Hothouse (second) stage, performing the whole of their epic album ‘The Midnight Organ Fight.’ BBC Radio 2 and 6music DJ CRAIG CHARLES brings his FUNK AND SOUL CLUB to the festival for the first time. By very popular demand and fresh from selling out Glasgow’s iconic Barrowlands THE LAFONTAINES join us for our 15th outing.
 
LUCY SPRAGGAN will make a return to the festival and new Celtic sensation TIDE LINES will also feature. And festival favourites COLONEL MUSTARD & THE DIJON FIVE will appear on the main stage as well.
 
"This really is the life now that we can welcome back Scotland’s own wonderful Amy Macdonald to the festival for the first time since 2010, since when she has gone from strength to strength,” said Belladrum promoter Joe Gibbs. “The Bella crowd are among her greatest fans.”
 
2018 tickets for the 15th Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, voted Trip Advisor’s most popular UK festival in 2017, are on sale on-line and via ticket agents. Buyers can pay in seven monthly instalments if they buy tickets before 1st January 2018. All on-line ticket buyers can take advantage of a 72 hour cooling off period after purchase during which they can return bought tickets.
 
Following the tradition of a fancy dress theme at the event, Bella has announced that ‘Bollywood’ will be its 2018 theme. “We will be bringing back the fancy dress parade and prizes in 2018. We’re hoping for a riot of Bollydrum exhibitionism,” said festival promoter Joe Gibbs
