Festival organiser Dave Ritchie commented on the line-up:

“Many festivals go for the safe, big old names but at Wildfire we are doing something different. We want to put tomorrow’s bands on the map, giving many an opportunity to play to new audiences and for some their first main stage festival slot. As we continue to lose many of our classic rock heroes, the penny needs to drop that it’s time now to invest in tomorrow’s bands and to get serious about doing it. That’s what we do at Wildfire. Many bands we’ve showcased in the past go on to greater things and that’s the value we add to the rock scene. It’s a great festival for young bands and for music fans it’s an ideal chance to see a who’s who of breakthrough bands in one place over three days, for a price that wont break the bank and in a setting that’s good for the soul.”

Entry to all three nights with weekend camping are priced at £85

Concession ticket (for those aged 13-17 years) are priced at £20. Tickets for children (Aged 0-12 years) are priced at £3.
