Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival

The first headliners for Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Scotland’s most-loved family friendly festival, have been announced as it returns to the Highlands next summer from Thursday, 30th July to Saturday, 1st August! 

James, The Human League and Callum Beattie will headline 2026’s edition, taking place on the Belladrum Estate, approximately 20 minutes drive from Inverness in the scenic surroundings of the Scottish Highlands. 

James, one of the most in-demand acts in Bella history – are returning to the Belladrum main stage for the first time since 2013. Consistently in the top three most requested acts by fans in our post event surveys, James will celebrate their 40th birthday with a hit-busting set.

British synth-pop pioneers The Human League are set to bring their unmistakable sound to the Highlands for the very first time, with timeless anthems like Don't You Want Me, (Keep Feeling) Fascination, Love Action (I Believe in Love) and Mirror Man continuing to resonate with fans worldwide.

Callum Beattie steps into his first-ever major festival headline slot, a moment both well-earned and deeply rooted in his connection to the Highlands and Belladrum. A Bella favourite since his debut in an unassuming afternoon Garden Stage slot in 2022, Beattie’s rise has been phenomenal with a sold-out Hydro show in Glasgow in November 2025 and a reputation for heartfelt performances. 

Also joining the line-up are special guest MIKA, Razorlight, Kula Shaker, Symphonic Ibiza, Scouting For Girls, Brooke Combe, GetDown Services plus many more, with more acts to be announced.

Tickets are on sale now for Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival 2026, including payment plan options and VIP (Club Clan Bella) ticket upgrades.
