The first wave of acts for Belladrum 2026 have been revealed with James, The Human League and Callum Beattie set to headline.
The beloved Tartan Heart Festival will return to the Highlands next summer with a typically eclectic line-up, which also includes Razorlight, Kula Shaker, Symphonic Ibiza, Scouting For Girls, Trail West, and “very special guest” Mika.
With more acts still to be unveiled, the 22nd edition of Belladrum will see James perform on the main stage for the first time since 2013 as The Human League and Mika both play the Highlands event for the first time.
Also taking to the main stage is Scottish singer-songwriter Callum Beattie, who will take on his first major festival headline set on the tail of the biggest show of his career so far.
With Belladrum set to take place from July 30 to August 1, here are 18 highlights from the Belladrum 2026 line-up so far.
