The list now includes Sam Ryder, who is the UK’s Eurovision hopeful, and making a welcome return the true legend of the Scottish music scene Edwyn Collins and Northern Irish alternative rock band Ash will make their Belladrum debut.
After almost three years since the festival’s last outing, due to Covid restrictions, organisers are delighted to unveil the exciting wave of new acts set to join the 2022 line-up at its home in the Highlands.
Event producer Dougie Brown said: “We are delighted to be in the final stages of planning Belladrum 2022 and unveiling the next wave of acts joining us this July.
“It has been an exceptionally tough last few years and this years’ festival has felt like a long time coming.
“Our whole team cannot wait to be back in the fields with our incredible Bella family this summer, reminding ourselves of what makes this festival so special.”
Ash can boast two number one albums as well as a string of anthemic singles, including breakthrough single Girl From Mars, and celebrated 25 years together earlier this year.
Tik-Tok sensation Sam Ryder has enjoyed a stellar two-years and his current single, Space Man, has been receiving huge support across national radio and media as he gets ready to perform at Eurovision later this month.
Over his career Edwyn Collins has worn many hats, from his days fronting the post punk band Orange Juice, through to his worldwide solo hit A Girl Like You, as well as founding two indie record labels – Postcard Records and AED.
Organisers are also delighted to welcome 2022 Grammy award winning Mississippi artist Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram to the Highlands for the first time.
