Organisers confirm Belladrum 2021 will be postponed
They say it's a "tough blow" to postpone the event two years in a row.
This year's Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival will be postponed, organisers have confirmed.
They say the Beauly event "isn’t going to be possible this year" due to ongoing COVID restrictions.
This year's line-up included the likes of Nile Rodgers & Chic, Emile Sande and Passenger.
All 2021 ticket holders will be offered the chance to transfer to next year's festival or receive a full refund.
Organisers say it is a "tough blow" to postpone the event two years in a row.
A statement on their Facebook page said: "No one wants to be back in the fields at Bella more than us, however, the status of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has made it clear that delivering an event we all know and love, just isn’t going to be possible this year.
"Whilst the vaccine programme appears to be progressing well and there are signs of light at the end of the very long tunnel, we feel there are still too many uncertainties surrounding the potential restrictions that may be in place.
"We don’t want to deliver an event we aren’t proud of or compromise in any way on the magic that makes Bella so special to all of us.
"We are aware that there are some events that are going ahead and we have considered all options for how Bella might look but the nature of the weekend camping show we have just doesn’t make it possible.
"We have been working closely with the rest of the UK event industry in lengthy conversations with Westminster Government to provide an insurance policy for our industry.
"Without this, the risk of pushing on with planning with no certainty on what the future holds is simply too huge."
