the latest line up added

[shezam]

Oh dear.... quite happy i've got myself a Parklife ticket now!

[themangus]

Is this it now?
Obviously there is still a Comedy line up to be announced... but musically?

No 'More acts to be announced' line on the poster.

I've thoroughly enjoyed going to the first five Rockness festivals but its time for me to move on, as I am no longer part of the demographic they are trying to attract.  I don't have a problem with this at all as there are plenty of other festivals, and I sold my ticket a few weeks ago.

Have a good one guys!

Yip same with me.  Decided to give Rockness a miss this year, just because we found out about Parklife in Manchester.  Don't think i'll be back.  Sure it will a great weekend anyways, hope everyone has a top time x

Nothing huge on the lineup but wasnt expecting much more big names to be honest.

Wide range of acts though, some that I will probably catch -

Laidback Luke
Boxer Rebellion
Beardyman
Broken Records
Saint Saviour
Example
Sons & Daughters
Harvey McKay
Derricl Carter
Andy Weatherall
Funk D'Void

Plus need to check out some others, anyone fancy doing a Spotify playlist? Or similar?

Not sure who is the Arena headliners are on the Sunday yet. Hopefully get the stage splits soon

[Poleski]

I'm still confident it's going to be a good year, the only thing that’s slightly annoying me is that all the acts I want to see I've seen before:
The Chemical Brothers, Boys Noize, Fake Blood, Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco, Clouds, Magnetic Man.

Will probably try and catch a few acts I haven't seen before though:
The Japanese Popstars, Sub Focus, Katy B, DJ Shadow, Mark Ronson (DJ Set), Modeselektor, Magda, We Are Scientists.

Looking at those lists I know theres going to be a lot to keep me happy so roll on June 10th!

Aye there will be plenty to keep me busy anyway over the weekend, not to mention just the eFest campsite banter over the weekend.

For the £99 I paid I think it's worth it. Not sure if I would have stretched to £150 for it though, and definately wouldn't pay £200 for VIP or whatever for it.

Considering 3 nights camping alone can cost you around £30 for the weekend on a campsite with facilities, add on the cost of seeing say the Chems and Kasabian (£30 each) then it does seem good value.


9 weeks today till I head up for it...Bring on the sun

Good, didn't get a chance to check it out last year.

Also, I'm quite excited for Katy B.

First big notable clash.

Modeselektor and Erol Alkan it would appear... I hope Erol plays at the same time as Kasabian...

[festkid]

I am buzzing for the weekend now: Chemical Bros, Magnetic Man, Two Door Cinema Club, Modeselektor, Laidback Luke, Erol Alkan, Nero, Beardyman, Jamie XX, Groove Armada, DJ Shadow, Boys Noize, Simian Mobile Disco, Annie Mac, Fake Blood, Sub Focus, Jesse Rose, Clouds... and late nights at Arcadia! I am a very happy man!

[Alpha Kenny 1]

Not the best announcement in the world but theres still plenty there that I want to see.




Erol Alkan on the Acadia Afterburner will be something else though. Hope he doesnt clash with Kasabain.
