Franz Ferdinand confirm new gig for 2017

They’re headlining a small festival in Scotland.

Franz Ferdinand have announced their first gig for 2017.

The band will play a set headlining the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival near Inverness, on a bill that also includes KT Tunstall and Sister Sledge.

“This is the first time Franz Ferdinand has played Bella and we are totally delighted to welcome them to our stage,” says festival promoter Joe Gibbs.

”I couldn’t think of a better act to close out the festival. And we are thrilled to be welcoming KT back. She played Bella before as an unannounced special guest but we are pleased to have properly on the bill this time.”

The festival runs from 3rd-5th August 2017.
