Solus Tent line-up announced for The Wickerman Festival

Scotland's The Wickerman Festival has unveiled its Solus tent line-up showcasing emerging Scottish talent. New wave rockers Vukovi will headline the tent on Friday, while tech-electro trio Roman Nose are Saturday's lead act.

The Wickerman Festival takes place at East Kirkcarswell Farm in Dumfries & Galloway and takes place from Friday 26th and Saturday 27th July, 2013.

Joining them will be Vigo Thieves, Fat Goth, Fake Major, TeKlo, Rungs, Honeyblood, Woodenbox, Solareye (the MC of Stanley Odd), Siobhan Wilson, Behold The Old Bear, Young Philadelphia, Flutes, Machines In Heaven, Bears Arms, Kayce One and Toni Smoke, Vasa, The Recovery, and Saint Max and the Fanatics.

Chay Woodman, Wickerman's Solus tent booker said, "It's fantastic to have Vukovi back and Roman Nose are the perfect band to close the stage for the weekend - a very Solus-esque band. It's truly impossible to predict what will happen in Scottish music and I like to think that maybe our wee stage at the top of the hill with the strange name works best when that unpredictable element is in full effect."

The goNORTH Festival Tour Tent will also be making a return to Wickerman showcasing emerging talent from the Highlands and Islands, other parts of Scotland, the rest of the UK, and a selection of international contenders. Acts are invited to apply to be part of goNORTH via their website http://gonorthfestival.co.uk/music-submissions, submissions close on 1st April 2013.

Primal Scream will headline Friday, and Amy Macdonald Saturday. The only other acts already confirmed are Public Service Broadcasting, The Enemy, KT Tunstall, Dexys, Bellowhead, King Charles, Holy Esque, Roddy Hart & The Lonesome Fire, and North Tyneside's Steelband.

For the line-up details as available please click here. As always, the weekend festivities will be brought to a spectacular close with the crowd-gathering tradition of burning the 40ft Wickerman statue at midnight on Saturday.

Ticket prices are £95 for Weekend adult tickets, £47.50 for Weekend concession tickets, £65 for Saturday adult tickets with tickets free for under 12's. For all those taking caravans or campervans to Wickerman a basic pitch is priced at £40 or £90 for a pitch including an electric hook up.

Everyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult and bring proof of age - anyone without proof of ID will be liable to pay the full adult ticket price at the gate. We also recommend anyone who looks under 21 to bring ID with them. The ages shown on the tickets refer to the age of the child/concession on the day of the festival (not the age at time of purchase).
