Wickerman Festival Announces Dance Village Line-up

Riva Starr, X-Press2, Dan O'Donnell, Nelski and Sonny Wharton are amongst the acts set to appear in the Skiddle.com dance tent at the tenth annual Wickerman Festival.

Joining one of clubland’s hottest figures Riva Starr, who features on the Essential Mix on 29 April, and underground club stalwarts X-Press2, will be Dan O Donnell, winner of the Mixmag and Blackberry International DJ Competition, as well as Nelski who works alongside the likes of Chris Lake. They will be joined by by Wickerman favourite Matt Hinde plus dance stars Ginny K, Tim Forrester, James Ryan, Ki Creighton, Sonny Wharton and some home-grown talent guaranteed to please local fans.

Completing the Bass Camp Dance Village is the Em-it Tent, boasting a line-up led by Krafty Kuts and Utah Saints, with London-based tech-funk producer and DJ Meat Katie; Stockholm’s Peo De Pitte; underground favourite Mike Hulme; plus Easy B, Simon Jackson, Ray McKinney, Digital and Scott McCormack all taking to the decks.

As part of the festival’s anniversary celebrations, Skiddle.com has launched an opportunity for dance lovers to vote for their favourite tracks of the last decade.  The results will then be compiled into an exclusive 10 year anniversary mix by Skiddle’s Sonny Wharton, and played as part of his set. Everyone who submits a track suggestion will also be given a free download of the final mix.  

Festival coordinator, Helen Chalmers, said; “Bass Camp provides a pulsating atmosphere and with such an incredible line up of new talent and returning favourites we’re guaranteed to keep the dance floors full.”

Taking place on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 July at East Kirkcarswell Farm in Dumfries & Galloway, the tenth festival will feature ten stages, including the Summerisle Stage, Scooter Tent, The Acoustic Village, Axis Sound System Reggae Tent, Bass Camp, Greenman Inn, Headphone Arena, Ho Down Wendy House, Solus and for the first time the goNORTH Festival Tour Stage.
