Wickerman

Dizzee Rascal, Del Amitri, The Feeling, Alabama 3, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, The Zombies, Big Country + more TBA.

The bank managers of festival fiends across the nation breathe a deep sigh of relief as Wickerman returns for another year - one of the few summer weekenders that manages to keep things affordable without skimping on the entertainment. The paganesque musical celebration of the classic British horror film, which was set around the same area, turns 13 this year, just to add a bit of numerical superstition to things. The bill hasn't been announced yet, but last year's event featured Primal Scream, The Enemy, Amy Macdonald and Public Service Broadcasting, so you can expct similar leftfielders this year to soundtrack the delightfully hippy-ish antics. As ever, you can guarantee that the burning of the 30ft wooden effigy will be a highlight.
