Belladrum offers plenty of interest aside from the music, including an array of entertainment for children, although the fairground rides will not be on site this year. Attractions include street theatre, cabaret, cinema, dance, alternative therapies, stalls, food and drink.

The independent festival has built a reputation for its eclectic line-ups, its offbeat non-musical entertainments and its all-ages approach.

Tickets will be in the form of E-tickets and a limited number of hard tickets. Early bird tickets are priced at £95. Campervan/Caravan tickets are priced at £50 (£130 with electric hook up) and Child 12 & Under tickets are free.

This year there's a deposit offer to buy a full weekend ticket and put down a deposit of £50 and then pay the total balance by 1st June 2013. Saturday day tickets to the event will go on sale at 9am on Friday 26th April.

Tickets have sold out for the last four years so fans are urged to buy early to avoid disappointment.
