Welsh rockers the Manic Street Preachers join the line-up for the sold-out Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival (6th-8th August; Beauly Inverness-shire), headlining the festival’s main stage on the Friday night.

The multi award-winning chart-toppers are joined in making their first appearance at Bella by punk rockers The Stranglers and post-punk alt rockers New Model Army.
