Wizard Festival 2010, Kicks off Tomorrow

Around 5,000 music fans will descend on New Deer Showground in the heart of the Aberdeenshire countryside for the fourth annual Wizard Festival, which takes place this weekend, Friday 27th & Saturday 28th August 2010.

The event, one of Scotland’s fastest-growing music festivals will be held in the open air for the first time this weekend. The main acts will be performing in a huge, half-orbit structure, fully rigged for spectacular light shows.

The festival kicks off tomorrow with a line-up which includes former chart-topper Sandi Thom and Manchester legends James.

Headlining on Saturday is fellow Mancunian’s The Happy Mondays, supported by Alabama 3, the Complete Stone Roses and The Dykeenies.

This year a new comedy stage has been added and the line-up includes Gus Tawse, Scott ‘the dog’ Forbes, Andrew Learmonth and Jason C Murphy, who will all be appearing in the wee wizards arena on Friday and Saturday evening.

There will also be the Snafu Soundsystem tent, which will play host to a raft of DJ talent, as well as the Banshee stage, which will feature up-and-coming acts from across the country.
