Much loved Scottish festival Wickerman has announced that it will be taking a year off this summer. The festival has given the following statement:

Following the hugely successful running of The Wickerman Festival in 2015, which followed shortly after the death of the event’s co-founder Jamie Gilroy, the Wickerman Festival organizers have decided to take a year off in 2016. The event will go ahead in 2017 and plans are already taking shape. The organisers are grateful for the kind messages and loyal support from all Wicker fans. Wickerman 2017 will take place on the 21st & 22nd July.

Meanwhile people who have purchased early bird tickets for 2016 will be refunded automatically by Skiddle. The Wickerman Festival website, and social media, will be regularly updated to outline plans for 2017.

The festival will be sorely missed, but that'll make its return in 2017 just that bit sweeter. Watch last year's highlights below.
