• 2nd Jun 2011

Eight of the UK’s top reggae acts have been added to the tenth anniversary line-up for The Wickerman Festival 2011 (22-23 July) to ensure celebrations will continue well into the night.

Big Toes Hi Fi, Bushrocker Hi Fi, Mikey D.O.N, Underground Roots, Chapter 4, Emjay and Apache Hi Fi will join Dr Huxtable in the AXIS Reggae Tent until 5am, in what has become a Wickerman institution.

Dr Huxtable, Axis Sound System builder, selector and operator, will be at the controls all weekend to entertain fans, putting out music and good vibes in authentic style.

Joining him in the AXIS Reggae Tent are Big Toes Hi Fi who, since establishing their Sound System in Edinburgh, have gone on to gain fans across Europe.

Bushrocker Hi Fi join to take crowds on a journey into the unknown with their wide ranging repertoire and with CoJo at the helm joined by Bradford based Mr P, they’re sure to add their own flavour to the celebrations.

With multiple musical releases under his belt along with international acclaim, multi-talented Mikey D.O.N from Chorley will be on hand to guarantee further musical satisfaction.

No strangers to generating good vibes, Chapter 4, Underground Roots, the high quality Emjay and new kids on the block Apache Hi Fi complete the dazzling line-up for the AXIS Reggae Tent at this year’s Wickerman.

Axis Sound System’s Dr Huxtable said: “This year’s tenth anniversary is the perfect reason to celebrate into the early hours. The Axis Sound System reaches parts that no other can – that’s why we say: it’s reggae music in a velvet earthquake sound. With a selection of the UK’s top acts joining me in the AXIS Reggae Tent, we’ll have this year’s festival goers partying in style.”
