Editors, and Ocean Colour Scene will headline this year's Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival.

Editors return to Belladrum with their only festival appearance in Scotland this year, and joining them as headliners will be Ocean Colour Scene.

Joining them will be The Saw Doctors, Shed Seven, British Sea Power, Seth Lakeman, Alabama 3 (acoustic & unplugged), Transglobal Underground, and Sons and Daughters who had to pull out of last year's event at the eleventh hour.

Headlining the Grassroots Stage will be Glenn Tilbrook & the Fluffers. Other confirmed acts include Peatbog Faeries, Lau, The Treacherous Orchestra, Tommy Reilly, DeVotchka, The Phantom Band, 3 Daft Monkeys, Edward II, The Wallbirds, Kid Carpet, Sam Isaac, The Lost Brothers, and Scooty And The Skyhooks.

Festival co-promoter Joe Gibbs, said, "We're very excited to have long-standing favourites north of the border, Ocean Colour Scene, making their first appearance here. And those with long memories will remember Editors playing a storming set mid-afternoon on the Hothouse Stage in 2005 when things were just beginning for them. They went on record later as saying they would be back and here they are; only this time they've got two albums, including a number one under their belt."

Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival will take place at Belladrum Estate, by Beauly, Inverness-shire on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th August 2009.
