Belladrum 2026 is set for 30 July–1 August, with early bird tickets on sale from 10am Monday 4 August.
Belladrum 2025 wrapped up with a weekend of music, warmth, and unmistakable Highland spirit. Across three days, the festival’s 21st edition delivered a blend of nostalgia, discovery, and community, all set against the cinematic backdrop of this year’s theme: “Bella Goes to the Moo-vies.”
Texas, Supergrass, Paul Heaton, Tom Walker, and Natasha Bedingfield drew huge crowds, while stages like Seedlings, Bella Bar, and Free Range Acoustic continued their quiet mission—sometimes very noisy, thanks to the likes of The Dihydro, The Idiotix, and Bad Actress. From first-time performers to seasoned Highland favourites, the programming felt intentional and inclusive.
The weather played its part too. While not wall-to-wall sunshine, conditions were kind—mostly dry, comfortably warm, and just breezy enough to keep the glitter from melting. It made for relaxed afternoons, lively evenings, and a festival atmosphere that felt celebratory without being chaotic.
Festival producer Dougie Brown summed it up: “Belladrum is more than just a music festival – it’s a celebration of creativity, community and culture, all set against the stunning Highland backdrop” (STV News).
With tents packed and playlists already on repeat, organisers have now confirmed that early bird tickets for Belladrum 2026 will go on sale at 10am on Monday 4 August 2025. Next year’s dates are set for 30 July to 1 August, once again returning to Belladrum Estate. No line-up announcements yet, but for those already planning their return—or those who missed out this time—it’s a chance to get ahead before the usual sell-out scramble.
Tickets will be available via tartanheartfestival.co.uk. For now, it’s time to rest the feet, relive the memories, and maybe start to speculate about next year’s line-up.
