Wickerman, one of Scotland’s best-loved summer music and arts festivals, is giving music fans a real treat by releasing early bird tickets for next year’s festival, frozen at 2011 prices.  The tickets which go on sale tomorrow will be available for a limited period until October 31st, HERE 

The announcement coincides with the airing tonight on BBC Three of ‘Don’t Tell the Bride’ which was filmed at this year’s Wickerman Festival. Mark Loney, from Glasgow, arranged the wedding for his bride, Jill McClintock without her knowledge after she took the plunge and handed all control of the celebrations over to him.  Wickerman fans can tune in tomorrow night to find out whether it was a wedding day to remember for the happy couple. 

Early Bird prices are £90 for Weekend adult tickets, £45 for Weekend concession tickets, £60 for Saturday adult tickets with tickets free for under 12’s. For all those taking caravans or campervans to Wickerman a basic pitch costs £30 or £80 for a pitch including an electric hook up.  These prices will be frozen until 31st October. Full price tickets will then go on sale from Monday 5th November and will be available to buy online from Skiddle.com and in person at various outlets. 

Highlights from this year’s festival included Scottish songstress, Sharleen Spiteri, leading the 15,000 strong crowd in a sing-along of Texas classics; a thrilling, high octane disco-pop set from Scissor Sisters and a raucous appearance from ska band Bad Manners topped off with the spectacular burning of the 40 foot Wickerman against a night sky sparkling with fireworks.  Two days of warm sunshine created a weekend of Wicker-history, marking the festival’s best year yet. 

Festival Coordinator, Helen Chalmers said: ‘We are absolutely delighted to be able to offer fans the opportunity to snap up their early bird tickets so soon after this year’s hugely successful festival.  Having had global superstars Scissor Sisters and Scottish legends Texas topping the bill - plus the surprise live filming of ‘Don’t Tell The Bride’ - we’ve a hard act to follow but we’re determined to make next year’s festival even better!’ 

The next Wickerman Festival will take place on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th July 2013.
