I'd rather not, Fatboy Slims not that bad but I think if he played every year I'd probably strangle the poor old sod. He's like a pished embarresing uncle at a wedding at times.

I do like this idea, although not sure if he should play every year. If he did it would need to be a monumental tent ie Slam Tent or bigger size or play under one of his aliases. Maybe he could select the line-up? It would be fitting as without him Rockness wouldn't exist.

I think yer missing the point guys Rockness does not need a Slam tent or Fatboy tent cause they mix up the tents every year not needing the same host year after year!!

At the end of the day it's a Dance/Rock festival who has as mix of music from bothe genres!!

Where as T is a 'mainstream big festival' where they need to make a point to say this is the dance tent!!

Fair enough fat boy was the main one to get behind the festival in the first place but i bet he wouldnt want a fat boy tent either because it get's away from the whole ethos of the festival!!

Technically he never, but he is the reason it is there. The only reason it exists is because he got refused permission to have another 'Fatboy Slim Brighton Beach Party'. If it wasn't for Fatboy that beach party would never have existed, the 250,000 people insted of the expected 70,000 wouldn't have turned up, it wouldn't have been cancelled and the organisers would never have looked elsewhere.

Granted there were always a company in charge but that beach party was his creative essence, as was the first Rockness.

It was he created that beach party, that beach party has evolved into Rockness.

He did start it, it just grew bad ass legs lol

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
