four more acts for Wizard

Four more acts have been announced for Scotland's Wizard Festival, which takes place at the New Deer Show Ground near Peterhead and Fraserburgh, North East Scotland, on August bank holiday weekend and will be held on the weekend of Friday 26th and Saturday 27th August 2011.

Playing on the main stage before Friday's headliners The Stranglers are The Magic Numbers, while Saturday has Scottish singer/songwriter Tommy Reilly.

Also newly confirmed are The Twang, and The Bad Shepherds who of course feature Adrian Edmondson.

Roy Thain, Wizard Festival organiser said: "This year the bill just gets better and better. We feel like we have some successful years behind us and we can stretch the bill to make sure it suits lots of different people. We are keener than ever that the bands we book have a great reputation for live festival performances and we know each of these acts has that. We know that Wizard fans love their live music, camping and dancing so we are making sure we tick all those boxes for them."

They join the acts already confirmed - The Stranglers on Friday, and Cast, and The Saw Doctors on the Saturday.

The Wizard Festival, now in its fifth year, takes place at the New Deer Show Ground near Peterhead and Fraserburgh, North East Scotland, on August bank holiday weekend and will be held on the weekend of Friday 26th and Saturday 27th August 2011.
