Was hoping for something today.  Any of the more local Bella goers heard anything ?

[herindoors]

Aye, I had hoped for something today. No rumblings from the Bella FB/Twitter since 1st April...

Doubt they would announce around the same time as Rockness... I know they aren't in direct competition but geographically they are very close so will probably hold off till next week at earliest.

[herindoors]

Very true Paul. Mind you, the RN annoucement was supposed to be last week  

[herindoors]

Bella FB has said the first announcement will be on Sunday

fingers crossed for a few names on sunday . Is the View playin TITP ?

[Red Day]

View are at T so doubt they'll be at Bella.

My guess is Texas for one of the headliners

[Da_J_Doc-~]

Definetly the Charlatans

[Red Day]

Thought that a few weeks back but since then there's rumours of a festival in Aberdeen the week before and Charlatans have been mentioned for that.  Maybe they'll play both but was thinking of the restrictions on contracts.  

If Aberdeen one comes off, might do that instead of Bella depending on line ups

[themangus]

Might do Bella for this first time this year.
Will be keenly checking out the announcement tomorrow.

[macquatic]

OK, here we go.

Texas and Deacon Blue headlining. Don't know which days
Newton Falkner, Frank Turner, Admiral Fallow, Little Comets
Dry the River, The Webb Sisters, CW Stoneking, Skerryvore, Saint Saviour
Easy Star Allstars, James Mackenzie & the Aquascene, Cousti and Diddums

[herindoors]

Headliners - not impressed. At all.  

Happy with Newton Faulkner (ish) and very happy with Admiral Fallow, Frank Turner and Skerryvore. Need to acquaint myself with some of the others but those headliners are shocking IMO.

What next a Ricky Ross solo spot.

According to their Facebook Page Echo and the Bunnymen are playing Belladrum. They are also playing Wickerman - if their line up is as good as rumoured (ie Franz Ferdinand) may go there instead.

Feeder is the other headliner at Wickerman this year

Bunnymen were awful last time they played Bella. Complete hit or miss live

Agreed.. and they were awful at Loopallu the following year!

Shame that Belladrum and Wickerman have had to resort to booking older bands for both headline slots at each festival this year. It's usually one night and then the other night there is a more current/relevant act.
