The Human League and The Zutons are to top the billing at Scotland's friendliest music event The Wickerman Festival.
Sheffield synth-pop pioneers The Human League are best known for their multi-million selling singles ‘Don't You Want Me', ‘Love Action', ‘Mirror Man' and ‘(Keep Feeling) Fascination'.
The Electro legends will headline Friday 24 July. Taking centre stage on Saturday night are Indie rockers The Zutons.
The Mercury Prize and Brit Award nominees are recognised as "Liverpool's first great band of the 21st Century."
In addition to the headline acts, the Wicker audience can look forward to an extremely eclectic billing.
This includes an exclusive Scottish festival performance from folk maverick Billy Bragg, a techno reggae set by festival favourites Dreadzone and old skool ska and punk from the UK Subs and Penetration.
Also appearing in this first announcement from the festival team are Jamaican reggae Grammy Award-winners Zion Train.
Other attractions planned for the 2009 shindig are a comedy tent featuring Phil Kay, a 24-hour Burnsathon, festival golf, mountain biking, kilts and camouflage fancy dress theme and the ceremonial torching of a giant Wickerman.
Famously friendly is the tag line for the 8th Wickerman Festival making reference to its laid-back family orientated audience.
Festival co-ordinator Helen Chalmers said "The festival team hope everyone will be as delighted with the first announcement as we are and we promise that there is much more to come with over 100 acts still to be announced."
The Wickerman takes place at East Kirkcarswell Farm near Kirkcudbright in the South West of Scotland on 24 and 25 July.
