Joining the headliners at this year's festival is an eclectic cast of established and up and coming acts from a wide range of musical genres, including The View, Levellers, Newton Faulkner, Cast, Kassidy, Bis, Dog is Dead, Duke Special and Mike Skinner (DJ set).
Scissor Sisters’ unique brand of disco driven glam-pop will top the bill on Friday 20th July, as the band debut material from their eagerly anticipated new album. Folk rock heroes Levellers, Britpop icons Cast, Scottish indie rockers Bis, five-piece indie pop band Dog is Dead and American songstress Jenny O will also take to the stage on the first full day of the festival.
On Saturday 21st July, Sharleen Spiteri and the boys will be performing their beloved back catalogue of hits in their only Scottish festival appearance this year. They are joined on the Summerisle line-up bill by crowd-rousing Dundee rockers The View, singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner, Scots indie-folk outfit Kassidy, Northern Ireland’s critically-acclaimed Duke Special and hotly-tipped British indie band, The Heartbreaks.
Now in its eleventh year, the festival will of course climax on the Saturday night with the legendary burning of the Wickerman, followed by a DJ set from The Streets' Mike Skinner.
Away from the family friendly action of the main stage, Skiddle's Bass Camp dance tent will keep the party pumping until the wee hours with a vibrant line-up of DJs. Jordan Suckley, Yousef, Kryder, D.O.D, Crazy P and ex-Coronation Street star Graeme Hawley are amongst the artists so far announced, and with a huge Bass Camp headliner yet to be announced, it's looking like the biggest year yet for the Skiddle.com Bass Camp.

Wickerman Festival Coordinator Helen Chalmers commented: ‘We are incredibly excited to be unveiling this year’s line-up which is classic Wickerman – an eclectic mix of established, emerging and retro artists that will deliver some fantastic performances across the two days of the festival."
