British Sea Power, will be joining the Summerisle Line Up alongside Del Amitri and The Feeling at Wickerman festival taking place between Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July.

There are also new Saturday additions to the Lowland Links tent, staged by Wickerman Festival as part of Year of Homecoming to showcase the culture of the Dumfries and Galloway area including: Creetown Silver Band, a brass band that dates back to 1880 hailing from the local village of Creetown, will join the line up as will Nicola Black, a native of Dumfries and Galloway and the festival’s very own Acoustic Village Manager, who will take her turn in the spotlight on Saturday evening.

There will also be a special treat for music fans when Dumfriesshire Cellist, Alex McQuiston, is joined by top opera singers from the International Musicians Platform to perform a selection of best-loved opera classics – from Nessun Dorma to Tonight from Westside Story for the Wickerman audience.

Finally, the dazzling Eletricat Samba will whip the Wickerman crowd into a full-on Brazilian frenzy, performing briefly on the Summerisle Stage on Saturday before heading out into the arena for some carnival fun with the crowds.

Festival Coordinator Helen Chalmers commented: ‘With just a few days to go until we open the gates to this year’s Wickerman Festival, news that British Sea Power are joining the bill is set to send a huge wave of excitement amongst music fans. Not only are they one of the most enduring indie bands in the UK, but they put on a show that we know will be another great festival highlight amongst the many we have in store across our stages.

‘Adding a few more very diverse and unexpected artists to the bill, including some great traditional brass band music, a bit of classical opera and a blast of Brazilian Samba is what Wickerman fans love about this festival. There really is something for everyone to enjoy. So if you haven’t got your Wickerman tickets yet, there are still a few left and we’d urge music fans not to miss out on what promises to be another amazing two days of brilliant music and entertainment on site.’
