Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Co-op are teaming up to offer an exciting opportunity for emerging artists. As part of the festival’s ongoing commitment to supporting grassroots music, Co-op members are invited to enter an exclusive talent search, with two lucky winners earning a slot to perform on the popular Bella Bar stage or Co-op stage at this year’s festival.Now in its 21st year, Belladrum has a long-standing reputation for championing new talent, giving countless artists their first taste of performing at a major festival. Thanks to Co-op’s continued partnership, this year’s festival will offer even more opportunities for up-and-coming musicians to step into the spotlight. Open to solo acts and bands from across Scotland, the talent search is designed to uncover the next big thing and provide them with a platform in front of the festival’s lively crowds.

Entries will be reviewed by representatives from Belladrum and Co-op, who will shortlist the most promising acts. From there, one winner will be selected internally, while the second will be decided through a public vote, giving festival fans a say in who they want to see take the stage.

Co-op’s partnership with Belladrum extends beyond music. As a long-standing festival supporter, Co-op is dedicated to enhancing the festival experience for its members, whether through its on-site store stocked with festival essentials, exclusive Member Prices, or opportunities like this talent search to support grassroots music.Nuala Donnelly, Head of Partnerships & Events at Co-op, said:

“The Belladrum performance competition is another great way for us to reward our members with unique experiences and we’re thrilled that we get to help an emerging performer achieve their dream with this amazing opportunity. Good luck to everyone that’s entering.”
