Organisers have also announced that a group of live music Wizard showcase nights will be staged in Peterhead as part of the town's Scottish Week celebrations.
Billed as a 'platform to perform' for local bands and artists, Wizard showcase events will be held at Mambos and the Lido Marquee at Peterhead on July 23, 24 and 25.
Wizard festival organiser Roy Thain said: "We are delighted to have secured another top Scottish act to give our bill even more appeal and diversity.
"Idlewild are a brilliant Scottish act and a seasoned festival band so Wizard fans are in for a real treat with this addition to the bill."
Commenting on the upcoming Wizard festival showcase events which will form part of Peterhead's Scottish Week Roy said: "We want to give the whole region a chance to showcase its talents in the run up to Wizard.
"Peterhead, New Deer and all the surrounding areas of Aberdeen City and Shire should benefit from Wizard. One of our main objectives has always been to highlight the region as a vibrant, creative place where local bands and artists can flourish."
