SOLUS FINAL FOUR REVEALED

After a lenghty wait of finding out who would be filling the last four slots in The Solus Tent (for new emerging Scottish artists), the winners can finally now be revealed: Healthy Minds Collapse, Yahweh, Washington Irving, and A Band Called Quinn. The final 4 were chosen in association with Glasgow venue The Box. Solus promoter Chay Woodman said ‘I’m really picky because Solus is all about new Scottish music, but its also all about how that reflects on what the Wickerman Festival is all about. The standard was seriously high and there were plenty of entries to get through, so no easy choices were made. I’d like to thank all the bands that got in touch, as well as Stevie McColm and The Box crew for working with me on the last 4. It’s going to be a great summer’.

Scotland’s favourite family festival the Wickerman announces more acts to join its main stage top billers.

Analogue keyboards and shadow puppet theatre is on offer from electro troupe Casiokids. The Norwegian performers will journey to the rolling hills of South West Scotland to perform on Saturday 25th July.

Closer to home Carlisle based Burn The Negative will make the short hop across the Solway Firth to add a dash of electronic pop punk to the widely varied main stage roster.
Alternative indie act Its A Buffalo continues the Wickermans love affair with Mancunian artists.

Festival director Sid Ambrose explained “The Wickerman is within easy driving distance of Manchester, we tend to draw much of our audience from the North West and we like to take advantage of the vibrant music scene happening in that area.”

Festival stalwarts and headliners The Human League, The Zutons, Magic Numbers and Dreadzone have already been announced for the July gathering which will feature over 100 acts across eight stages.

In addition to the musical offerings there will be mountain biking, kite making, fire-walking, yoga and a poetry marathon to entertain the masses.

The Wickerman takes place on the 24th and 25th July at East Kirkcarswell Farm, Dumfries & Galloway.
