Friday headliner Dizzee Rascal leads the first acts to be announced for the 13th Wickerman festival which will happen on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July 2014 with campsites open on the Thursday.

Dizzee's set will be his only Scottish festival appearance this year. Joining him will be The Feeling, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, The Zombies, Big Country, Finding Albert, and Model Aeroplanes.

Wickerman Festival Coordinator Helen Chalmers said,  “We are delighted that Dizzee Rascal will be joining the party this year, his live performances are incredible and I can’t wait to see the crowd’s reaction to his headline set.

"From hip hop, pop, folk to motown and alternative rock, this year’s line up will once again be a truly diverse offering and we look forward to announcing further exciting additions including our Saturday night headliner over the coming weeks.”

As always, the weekend festivities will be brought to a spectacular close with the crowd-gathering tradition of burning the 40ft Wickerman statue at midnight on Saturday.

Sited on the 120 acre East Kirkcarswell Farm, near Dundrennan, South West Scotland, in deepest Galloway, the festival welcomes families, and features two main stages, as well as a dance area, acoustic tent, a campsite, trade stalls, alternative area, bars, and food stalls.
