Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival Headline appearance announced for 6th August 2015

The Proclaimers are announced as the headliners for Thursday 6th August 2015 at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival (6th-8th August 2015; Beauly, Inverness-shire). The first time the festival has featured a main stage headliner on its enhanced opening night. Craig and Charlie and band  will be making a return to the festival exactly 10 years after they last headlined.

Next summer will see The Proclaimers embark upon another tour around the World and the Belladrum appearance is their first confirmed appearance of 2015.

Craig and Charlie commented “We are absolutely delighted to be heading back to Belladrum after 10 years since we first played there in 2005. It has been fantastic to see the festival grow from strength to strength and we look forward immensely to returning and playing the Garden Stage next August.”

Festival promoter Joe Gibbs said “I can’t think of a more appropriate act to launch our first year of offering an extra main stage headliner at Bella, The Proclaimers gave the event the support it needed from a major Scottish act in its difficult second year. Who better, now to launch our new third night on the main stage.”
