go on, who else facepalmed when they read

"GLASVEGAS at RockNess…prepare for another epic moment in Scottish festival history!"

I assume they acidently put "moment" where "fail" should have been                                               .

Remember seeing Glasvegas in a packed tent at Leeds in 2008 and they were superb.

Went out to Troon on the Scottish tour they just did and was VERY underwhelmed.
Hopefully that was just rustiness from not having played any shows recently & fitting in w/ the new drummer.

I'll probably find somebody else to watch at Rock Ness anyway.

Too many Moaning B******s!! on this forum, Line up is inspired eclectic!! & foremost it's ROCKNESS!!

If you don't like a band don't go and see them go and see something else there will be plenty more to be announced so dont get your knickers in a twist all you doubters!!

Very happy bout Modeselektor. Would be good in tent, would be mind-blowing on Aracdia Afterburner                         !!!!!!!!

A few gems will be announced along with them. I still feel it's a strong line-up, however compared to the other years it is not as impressive.

Yeah seems like there are about 30 more to go.. but I think the line up has really come together with the last announcement of Laidback Luke, Sub Focus etc. Interesting to see what else they have to announce!

Is there more than one small stage to be announced then?

Have Carling not been confirmed as sponsors/official beer yet?! I'm gutted, the amnesty was great and the Carling Local was amazing on the Saturday night!

Yeah it was great, played all the classic Indie tracks which was good because there's lots of other places at night for dance music. Good to get a proper pint as well.
