So Orbital headlining the Main Stage on the Saturday then? Or what they classing as the 'main arena'?

Looks like it from the Official Site

ROCKNESS organisers today confirmed influential electronic timelords ORBITAL are set to reform for a headline mega show at the Highland festival this summer.

Celebrating 20 years of roof-raising anthems and cinematic sounds, the fraternal trailblazing duo Paul and Phil Hartnoll will perform on Saturday 13 June in the main arena in what promises to be a truly celebratory comeback.

Having stumbled across rockness by complete accident in its first year i have yet to miss it.

Last years line up was not that impressive in my humble (ahem) opinion but i still went.

the headliners i am unconvinced about, feel dizzy and biffy belong at download or something, basment jaxx aint big enough and the prodigy are far to aggressive for rockness's friendly atmosphere.

Orbital were good back in the day, when everyone thought electronic music was a phase but i think are pretty passed it now (and so not as good as daft punk(from what i remember(i think, scary year that one))).

everyone is so quick to slag of others peoples likes without actually realising how personal peoples music tastes can be.

I can honestly say, that regardless of who plays at this amazing, picturesque location, that i will be there with feking bells and whistles on and this year, i plan on remembering most of it to :P

Orbital are complete legends and I’m really buzzing that they have got back together, they are a huge influence on the electronic scene in general and have some real belters in their catalogue. Playing live, they are truly amazing, people should be honoured that they are getting another chance to see them live again. It's a real shame some people don't seem to appreciate some of the original dance acts such as Orbital, Underworld and The Prodigy.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
