i always get to this time of year and realise im far too excited about the festival season, and now that i've heard Chemical Brothers and Kasabian are playing that's just topped it.

any ideas who else you want to see there?

Hi Jim.

To be fair, I don't think it is Jim but it seems to be the student ambassadors who are all on here defending the festival just now

Definately no coincidence they all start to post as the tickets are about to go back on sale

Or maybe they have been told to from AEG

Are you a Student Ambassador or affiliated with Rockness/AEG?

No but it doesnt take a genius to see that these guys are coming on here to try and push their code to efestival traffic.

Of course they are!

But a bit of effort pays off.

It's just over the past day or so, the only ones who are defending the booking of Kasabian for the festival are the students.

It's almost as if they have had some kind of direction from AEG  

Just wait till tomorrow

Well wouldn't you defend a product you're trying to sell?
It's product profile raising clearly.

Yeah I know that, but its obvious AEG have sent out an email to them all to go and promote this today, all similar posts rumouring the same acts.. thats not coincedence  

Maybe to deflect from tomorrows announcement being potentially shit?

[gordong]

Or to build up hype? It's ridiculous the amount of people mentioning Daft Punk on facebook

I know, it's pissing me off too.. its not Daft Punk!


Still think someone should have used the code PEEENESS for comedy value

aye, loads of new members have just appeared, all making the same sort of posts - defending kasabian.

these forums work well because people express genuine opinions and we discuss them.. maybe we'll just keep the students out of the group forum

and on topic, aye i'm excited!

Haha famous last words!

Facebook's just gone mental!

I feel we are getting bad rep for promoting Rockness and forcing our beloved codes upon everyone, but the reason i am doing it, and im sure its the same reason for most of the other ambassadors, is because we bloody love Rockness!!
