Festival organisers have announced that The Human League and The Zutons will top the billing at this year's Wickerman Festival.
Sheffield synth-pop pioneers The Human League are best known for their multi-million selling singles Don’t You Want Me, Love Action, Mirror Man and (Keep Feeling) Fascination. The Electro legends will headline on Friday 24th July.
Indie rockers The Zutons will take centre stage on the Saturday night. The Mercury Prize and Brit Award nominees are recognised as ‘Liverpool’s first great band of the 21st Century’.
In addition to the headline acts the Wicker audience can look forward to an extremely eclectic billing. This includes an exclusive Scottish festival performance from folk maverick Billy Bragg, a techno reggae set by festival favourites Dreadzone and old skool ska and punk from the UK Subs, Penetration and Debutant Disco.
Also appearing in this first announcement from the festival team are Jamaican reggae Grammy Award winners Zion Train.
Making a welcome return to the festival and the Summerisle Stage are Dumfries & Galloway's very own bag rockers The Dangleberries. More than 100 acts are still to be confirmed.
Other attractions planned for the 2009 shindig are comedy from Phil Kay, a 24 hour Burnsathon, festival golf, mountain biking, kilts and camouflage fancy dress theme and the ceremonial torching of a giant Wickerman.
The Wickerman Festival takes place at East Kirkcarswell Farm near Kirkcudbright in the South West of Scotland on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July.
Tickets are priced at £80 online and at £85 from outlets for the weekend (including booking fee, camping and parking) with children 12 and under being admitted free.
