Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival has unveiled its second wave of artists for 2026, as the much loved Highland event returns from Thursday 30 July to Saturday 1 August with tickets selling fast and a sell out firmly in sight.
Leading the new announcement is Ella Henderson, whose powerful vocals and emotive songwriting have made her one of the UK’s most successful pop artists of the past decade.
Since her chart topping debut Ghost, the fastest selling debut single by a British artist in its year, Henderson has achieved more than 3 billion global streams, 10 UK Top 10 singles, four BRIT Award nominations and an Ivor Novello nomination.
Her Belladrum debut follows recent hits including Alibi and Filthy Rich, alongside high profile collaborations with David Guetta, Becky Hill and Rudimental, setting the stage for one of the standout moments of the 2026 weekend.
Also joining the bill is global dance favourite Sigala, whose run of feel good anthems has made him one of the most recognisable names in UK dance music.
With eight UK Top 10 singles, a number one UK Dance Album and collaborations with Rita Ora, James Arthur, Sam Ryder and Ella Henderson, Sigala is set to bring a high energy Saturday night to the Belladrum fields.
A hugely popular return comes from Skerryvore, three time winners of Scotland’s Live Act of the Year award and one of the country’s most powerful live bands.
From their early beginnings, Skerryvore have helped reimagine Scottish traditional music for a modern and international audience, taking their electrifying performances to stages across the world.
Also returning to the Grassroots stage are Mànran, one of the most respected names in contemporary Celtic music.
Blending Gaelic and English song with driving rhythms, pipes, fiddle and flute, the multi award winning seven piece have spent more than 15 years captivating audiences in over 30 countries.
Festival Producer Dougie Brown said:
“Tickets are flying out the door for 2026, and this next wave really shows the breadth of what Belladrum is all about.
“From global pop stars and dance icons to trad legends, breakthrough artists and homegrown favourites, we’re once again building an unforgettable weekend for our Belladrum family.”
Joining the lineup are indie favourites Lottery Winners, whose fourth studio album KOKO reached number one on the UK Official Charts in March 2025.
The album sold more than 23,000 copies in its first week and topped the Independent, Vinyl, Physical, Download, CD, Cassette and iTunes album charts.
Also added are Dublin four piece The Scratch, known for their raw energy, humour and unique acoustic sound after making the rare leap from metal roots to stripped back instrumentation.
Further additions include Pistol Daisies, Jarad Rowan, Brooki, Devin Casson, Dr Wook and the Hollow Pines, Gurry Wurry, Joshua Burnside, Alice Faye, Luke Radford, Jack Ruby 5, Jasper Hodges, Michael McGovern, Lynsey Dolan Band, The Rooks, Orla Noble and more.
These names join an already packed 2026 lineup featuring Callum Beattie, Mika, The Human League, James, Razorlight, Scouting For Girls and Brooke Combes across 14 stages.
With music, arts, culture and more than 100 free family activities, Belladrum continues to cement its reputation as one of the UK’s most eclectic, welcoming and family friendly festivals.
