2025 Theme Launch

Lights, camera, action! Belladrum 2025, will see us rolling out the red carpet for the biggest theme yet — Bella goes to the Moo-vies!  

Our beloved icon Bella the cow is back and she’s made her big screen debut in our theme announcement. Whether you’re channeling your inner superhero, dressing up as a silver screen icon or giving your favourite animated character a Bella twist, we can’t wait to see your cinematic creations and we encourage you to fully embrace the magic of the movies. 

 Who knows—you might even win an  Oscar for the best costume during our legendary fancy dress competition on Saturday afternoon! 

At Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, we’re not just about incredible music, arts, and culture—we're also known for embracing fun, creative themes that transform the festival into a unique experience.  Since the festival’s early years, each Belladrum has had its own imaginative theme, bringing a new layer of excitement for festival-goers. From the vibrant energy of Bollywood to the cosmic fun of science fiction, and the nostalgic joys of Cartoons. 

Our art and creative teams go all out every year, transforming the festival grounds to fit that year’s theme. Expect everything from larger-than-life decor, interactive installations, to themed performances.  

The theme has become a beloved part of the Bella experience, with hundreds of festival-goers showing off their creativity during the Saturday fancy dress competition. Whether you’re sporting a homemade masterpiece or something brilliantly off-the-wall, everyone is encouraged to join in the fun. 

We can’t wait to see the stars of the Moo-vies shine at Bella 2025! 

Our favourite Hollywood superstar, Karen Gillan, helped us announce our 2025 theme!
