The legendary Tom Jones is to headline the Friday main stage of Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival for what is believed to be his first ever performance in the Highlands. And headlining the same stage on the Saturday night are indie rockers Razorlight.

“Sir Tom has long been a hero of mine and it is a singular privilege to be able to welcome him to a Highland stage,’ said festival promoter Joe Gibbs. “We are also thrilled by the appearance of Razorlight at Bella whose last festival appearance in the Highlands was to headline RockNess in 2008.”

In a Scottish festival exclusive, very special guests Frightened Rabbit will return to the event. The Scots indie band last played the festival in 2012 since when they have released their further studio album ‘Pedestrian Verse’ which peaked at number nine in the UK charts.  Making his first appearance at the festival is the celebrated singer-songwriter Billy Bragg,  blues rockers The Temperance Movement will haedline the second stage.
