Oh, yes please! May make my 1st trip to Rockness if this is true.

[Paul ™]

They are 100% not playing

[Mon_eh_t]

That's that settled then....

[rexclark]

Noticed this today as well, it would be amazing to have them back but I can't see them touring this year.

Misleading the public to sell more tickets.

Pathetic.

They didnt mislead anyone, if people misinterpret something that is their fault.

The picture clearly said 2007 on it and with the three headliners already announced Daft Punk are hardly going to play anywhere else on the bill

I cant imagine anyone buying a ticket based on that photo as well. Its hardly pathetic.

Nah, sorry mate, I'm not having that people 'misinterpretted' it. They know the clamour there's been from everyone trying to get Daft Punk back to Rockness and the endless rumours. Really don't think there was any need for it at all. They'll be a lot of pissed off people if this turns out be nothing, on top of an already poor, delayed lineup, when it could have been avoided completely.

[Eh Ah Ken]

It is a bit teasing...

But there's no chance Daft Punk will be playing.

It will be nothing, Daft Punk arnt touring this year as far as im aware. People shouldn't be pissed off about that though. The lineup you think is poor other people will love and at no point was the announcement delayed as far as im aware and it isnt the festivals fault if it does get delayed, its almost always the bands that wont let them announce bands because they want to sell tickets on there own tour first.

[Festie--Follower]

Some of you folk need to calm down. They're simply showing an act who played in 2007. If it increases ticket sales, despite the fact that nothing's been announced, so be it.

[Kyelo]

People saying Daft Punk are playing does NOT make a rumour...just saying.

[rossm18]

why do they neeed to keep giving us false hope

Dont think it was really delayed, they have announced a lot earlier than the majority of festivals but its hardly a poor lineup when not even half of the acts are confirmed, sure it may not be to your taste but judgement should be reserved for the full lineup

Not trying to argue about something so petty but there is no chance of Daft Punk playing and if they do I will be the first to humbly apologize

[Pengers]

Why didn't they pick someone from the first year of Rockness? Why start with Daft Punk? It is an intentional tease or hint.  They know how much people want Daft Punk, I don't see it happening but with that headline slot in the tent for a dance act, and Daft Punk with their famous light shows.  There is certainly a chance that it could happen.

If Daft Punk did anything but headline a dance festival the size of Rockness especially when Biffy and M and Sons are headlining I think there would be an outcry plus the organisers would capitalise on announcing Daft Punk as a headliner as they know the draw they have for ticket sales

[gordong]

I know the odds are stacked against them playing in every way possible, but part of me refuses to give up hope haha. I totally understand your point, but in the case of Daft Punk, I don't think it would matter at all if they weren't initially announced as a headliner, it would make Rockness sell out either way.

Well the way I see it, they have announced these acts first to allow people who want to see Mumford, Biffy, Sheeran etc to get their tickets, and now if they announced Daft Punk there are still plenty tickets for people who want to just see Daft Punk, and they won't have an outcry from people who are unhappy they can't see their bands, and also will make sure that the crowd is perhaps more evenly split, because last time Daft Punk played the tent was destroyed to allow people to enjoy the set.  My theory anyways.

[Gingo]

Aww yea definitely if they were announced in any capacity it would sell out, I just mean I think it would be beneficial to go "We have Daft Punk, Deadmau5 and Biffy Clyro headlining Rockness this year!!!!!" rather than "We have Biffy Clyro, Deadmau5 and Mumford and Sons headlining this year with Justice and Daft Punk also playing!!!!"

For people who chat about festivals it would mean a lot them not headlining but for the average punter they look to the headliners first and undercard second
