The Solus tent at Wickerman showcases emerging Scottish talentline-up and today they have announced that Young Fathers will headline the tent on Friday, while Saturday’s headliner is Hector Bizerk. They will be joined by The Amazing Snakeheads, Neon Waltz, LAW and Tuff Love, as well as other rising stars.

Badmouth Battles rapper Gasp will pick up the pace by MCing the festival’s first ever rap battle. The event will shine the spotlight on raw talent and is set to get the crowds bouncing.

Other line-up additions include Tijuana Bibles, Colonel Mustard and The Dijon 5, Atom Tree, Thin Privilege, Algernon Doll, Call to Mind, Fat Suit, Gastric Band, Pronto Mama, Deathcats, Foreign Fox & Cutty’s Gym. 

Chay Woodman, Wickerman’s Solus Tent booker, said: “The idea behind the Solus Tent since 2006 has always been to keep it diverse, interesting, unique and surprising. Or as Pharoahe Monch said: “If you’re holding up the wall then you’re missing the point.”

Musical genres and geography aside, this is a line-up that offers exactly what the Wickerman goers want when it comes to emerging Scottish artists. As for the headliners, getting Young Fathers took four years of waiting but it’s been timed perfectly and Hector Bizerk were always destined to return after their fantastic debut set back in 2012. Two days and twenty slots, it’s going to be a fantastic weekend.”
