Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival Confirms 2027 Return -Hotfooting Incredible Success Of This Summer
Hot on the heels of another unforgettable weekend in the Highlands, where The Human League ignited the festival for the first time, and the likes of Callum Beattie, MIKA, Razorlight and Rizzle Kicks rocked the main stage, Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival has confirmed it will return from Thursday 29 July to Saturday 1ST August next year.
Early bird tickets for the 2027 edition of the much-loved family-friendly festival are onsale now, giving festivalgoers the earliest opportunity to secure their place in the fields next summer, at the lowest price. Organisers have confirmed the early bird tickets are limited, and once sold out general on-sale will begin.
The announcement follows the conclusion of Belladrum 2026, which once again welcomed up to 24,500 of festival-goers per day to the beautiful Belladrum Estate, near Beauly, for three days of live music, entertainment and family-friendly fun. The Belladrum magic ignited again this year, creating never to be repeated moments such as Inverness mamas crowd-surfing with Cammy Barnes, MIKA’s impromptu stage-dive into a sea of fans where he swam through the audience as he sang, and Scottish icon and comedy legend, Karen Dunbar, stepping up to DJ on the Garden Stage to warm-up the crowd for Sigala, when travel issues resulted in a slightly late arrival.
This year’s festival featured more than 300 artists performing across 14 stages, alongside an extensive programme of family entertainment, comedy, spoken word, wellbeing activities, food and drink, and immersive experiences throughout the site.
Festival Producer, Dougie Brown said:
“I don’t think it’s possible to tire of seeing the Belladrum Estate come alive, while welcoming our festival community to the grounds. We are hugely grateful to every artist, attendee, volunteer, partner, trader and member of our team who helped make this year’s festival possible. There’s no rest quite yet, and planning for 2027 is in full swing, with the first headliner already booked, and trust us, this one is going to be something very special indeed… we cannot wait to begin sharing more over the months ahead!”
Belladrum has become one of Scotland’s most distinctive and established music festivals, combining major national and international artists with emerging talent, traditional music and a wide-ranging programme created for festivalgoers of all ages.
The 2026 edition saw artists including The Human League, Mika, Callum Beattie, Sigala, Brooke Combe, Razorlight and more – but Festival Organisers are staying tight-lipped on who will be taking to the stage in 2027.
Early bird demand is expected to be high, with last years limited tickets selling out in 48 hours. Those who miss out can look out for general onsale.
Further announcements, including the first artists and programme details for 2027, will be revealed in due course.
