WICKERMAN LINE UP HOTS UP EVEN MORE WITH ONE WEEK TO GO

With one week to go, organisers of Scotland’s leading alternative music festival have named The Go! Team and I Blame Coco as the final acts to complete the bill on Wickerman’s Summerisle Main Stage next weekend (Friday 23 and Saturday 24 July).

This comes fast on the news earlier this week that I Am Arrows, Little Comets and Alan Pownall would also be taking a trip to Dumfries & Galloway to appear at Scotland’s friendliest music festival. The ninth Wickerman boasts the most diverse list of bands at any festival featuring such names as The Charlatans, Ocean Colour Scene, Teenage Fanclub, The Saw Doctors, The Futureheads, Tony Christie, Sons & Daughters, Buzzcocks, The Undertones, Goldie Lookin Chain, Fenech Soler, Erland & The Carnival, Unicorn Kid, Django Django and many more.

Following a break after the release of the critically acclaimed album Proof of Youth, The Go! Team promise festival goers a gleeful and exhilarating performance. Incorporating two drummers and a mixture of 1970s car chase themes, double dutch chants, old hip hop and loud guitars, The Go! Team will undoubtedly be one of the hits of the weekend.

I Blame Coco is fronted by 19-year-old Coco Sumner who takes her musical inspiration from Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and The Cure. Debut single Caesar, featuring pop pixie Robyn, was released in February this year and new single Self Machine was released July 12. The daughter of Sting and Trudie Styler, Coco signed a six album deal with Island and is gearing up for the September release of debut long player The Constant.

The festival is once more supported by EventScotland who awarded Wickerman £20k in funding, for which organisers are extremely grateful.

Jamie Gilroy, land owner and director, commented: “It’s fantastic to be able to complete our line up with such exciting names.  The Go! Team are one of the most fun, joyous and exuberant bands in the country and are sure to be offer an amazing performance.  Likewise, Wickerman has always been about discovery of emerging talent and I Blame Coco is sure to not disappoint.”
