Another name deservedly steps up from Discovery — and this one comes with serious momentum. We’re excited to announce that The Crom will be performing on the main stage at Heartland Festival 2026, following a standout appearance that closed the Discovery Stage in 2025.

Hailing from Perth, this award-winning indie rock band has been steadily building a loyal fanbase across Scotland since forming in 2019. Their debut album Right On Cue was eligible for the SAY Award, and their follow-up Evolution picked up a nomination for Scottish Album of the Year. Along the way, they’ve taken home a string of accolades — including Best Indie Rock Act at the Radio WigWam Awards, and Best Indie Act at the Lowlands Music Awards.

Now, with a new EP on the way and their biggest year to date behind them, The Crom are ready to take things up a level at #HF26.
