Bang the drum: Stop scammers

Such is Belladrum’s reputation for putting on an unbeatable show that it has become one of the hottest tickets on the summer circuit.

It certainly represents an enviable degree of fan loyalty to sell out a festival a year in advance without anyone knowing the headline acts.

For all those who have managed to bag themselves – or their van – a prized spot, there will be many more disappointed to have lost out.

However tempting, they must be encouraged by all means possible not to fall victim to the sorts of scammers who caused heartache this year.
