All the festival chat I'm getting just now is TITP & Rockness this week so I thought I'd get the chat going for the only camping festival I'm likely to attend this summer  

Anyone got anye idea when we're likely to see the first announcement of acts for this years festival?

Was wondering the same thing, getting a bit frustrating seeing all the other line-ups being announced!  

Two of us headed down to Wickerman last year and had a cracking time, so heading back down this year with an increased number of around 5 or 6. Looking forward to it (especially as its looking like my only festival of 2011), but a few confirmed acts would no doubt make it a bit more exciting!

Aye I went for the first time last year as well, 5 of us had a brilliant time, probs heading with a similar number this year.

Looking likely this is my only festival of 2011 as well, possibly heading to a wee one in York my wee bro is playing at but thats the only other one I've got on the agenda just now

Think it is usually end march/start of april for the 1st announcement

Got my days off booked for this year. Like the site and arena more than anything else. Nae mud or midges.

We'll no doubt be there again. With it being a few miles down the road it would be rude not to
They are always late with their announcements but sure we'll have the usual blend of punk/ska and other less interesting bits and pieces added in for good measure. Only rumour I've heard locally is that Franz Ferdinard are likely headliners. Alex played an unannounced set in the accoustic tent last year which went down well.

Giving it a miss again this year (2nd in a row) as off on holiday for a week taking in Camp Bestival which is the weekend after

emailed the Wicerman site last week for any news on bands & the reply was they have no plans to make any announcements of yet.

Aye, could do with an announcement imni, immana, inmam, soon. A lot of the other events have now started with the line ups for 2011, yet the Wickerman crew haven't. I've only heard the same rumour as treacle has about Franz Ferdinand, but no others.

I've also noticed that there hasn't been an announcment about Belladrum, and I believe it's the same folk that book the acts for both festivals. I just hope that they manage to pull it out of the back as they did last year, which meant that the suspense was well worth the wait.

Belladrum and Wickerman don't use the same bookers... but both usually announce early to mid April time.

Oops, I'm sure there was some sort of link between the two, however, it may be more tenuous than I think.

April fast approaching, hope to feck they make an announcement soon

not really much point to this post, just didn't want the wickerman thread to drop off the front page
