Bella Newsletter No 4 arrived in my Inbox when I was adding something to the efests forum...spooky :lol:

BELLA ANNOUNCES EMERGING TALENT

Every year we are flooded with hundreds of applications from unsigned artistes wanting to play our HAIL Seedlings Stage, generously sponsored by Highlands And Island Live. The emphasis of the eventual choice is on talent from the Highlands and Scotland generally, but not exclusively so. It’s always a difficult task deciding whom to choose – and this year seems to be harder than ever as the flood of talent has become a deluge.

But the white smoke has gone up at last and the Seedlings will feature: Friday: The Side, Sergeant, St Deluxe, Flood of Red, Bronto Skylift, Healthy Minds Collpase, Cast of the Capital, Washington Irvine and Colour Coded. Saturday will feature: Our Lunar Activities, Punch & The Apostles, Theatre Fall, Party Horse, Sucioperro, Naked Strangers, Cruiser, Cassidy and Three Times Daily.

PEARL IN PLACE FOR BELLA CRUISE!

Fancy a night on Loch Ness with Glasgow indie sensations Pearl & The Puppets? Come and join our inaugural BellaCruise on Thursday August 6th .

The Royal Scot leaves Dochgarroch at 7.00 PM and returns at 10.00 PM. There’s a bar on board. If you prefer not to drive, a coach will leave The Ironworks at 6.45 PM and return there at approx 10.15 PM. Parking at Dochgarroch is limited. Tickets cost £10 boat only or £15 inclusive of return coach ride from The Ironworks and can be bought via The Ironworks in person or on

CRAZY BELLA FREE HUGS

Have a look at crazy Bella huggers, Andy, Rebecca and Tayler on YouTube as they empty an entire shopping centre in Inverness in the rush to get hugs out to the population.

They were spreading the love to publicise the initiative by Homecoming Scotland and Bella to encourage far-travelled friends and relatives to use the event as a reason to come back to the Highlands and reunite.

BELLABOOK - A NEW NETWORK FOR BELLA FANS

At last – a chance to inhabit the World of Bella for the other 364 days a year! Over the six years of its existence, Bella has gathered an army of loyal fans, many of whom now attend every year. To bring our friends together, we launched BellaBook, a networking site for Bella people on Tuesday July 14th. You are able to create your own profile, upload photos and talk to other Bella folk. See you on there!

SIDEBURNS

Have you got sideburns? To celebrate the advent of our Homecoming Scotland SideBurns Stage which features copious Burnsanalia at this year’s Bella, we’re offering a pair of 2010 tickets to the most impressive set of mutton chops displayed at the SideBurns at 8.30 PM on Saturday 8th August. Our celebrity panel will stroke their chins, address this ticklish issue and celebrate the most folically advantaged cheeks on display.

TRUE OR FALSE? Sideburns were originally known as Burnsides after Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 – September 13, 1881), an American soldier, railroad executive, inventor, industrialist, and politician from Rhode Island who cultivated whiskery cheeks.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
