rockness, whats it like?

[thetime]

not an about the lineup but the festival experience?

is it like connect? or is it more like leed/reading?

what goes on when the bands finnish?

whats the atmosphere like?

quite liked connect a few years ago(bjork, beastie boys year). Even with all the rain, mud and low attendence.

Nothing like Connect or Leeds/Reading

Main stages shut around 12am, but plenty entertainment till 4am with various tents on till that time.

Atmosphere is brilliant, a lot better than TiTP, plus we always seem to get good weather up there

Go... £100 for an earlybird ticket is a bargain

Similar food/drink as Connect. There's a real ale tent, and a whisky tent.

There is entertainment well after the main stages have finished, including the Rizla Bus.

That's about the only similarities.

Atmosphere is great and very friendly. And the sun always seems to shine.

[ampersand]

Will we see you there in 2010?

Aye capacity is 35k, but its never sold out.. get around 25-28k there... plenty room

[thetime]

Your selling it well people, one of the things I hate about the majors is lack of space!

Payday looming, extra money spare so may get myself a xmas pressie lol.

[Paul ™]

will pearl jam or rammstein be there?

[thetime]

[Paul ™]

this is a post i made in january this year, just to give you an idea of what the festival is like. i would reccommend it to anyone, i love rockness.

the nesstival area in the arena is open til 4am friday and saturday, and 2am sunday. there's plenty to do in there. last year there was the rizla bus which had some dj's on, the bollywood bar (i was in there loads, it was great) the soco social bar and plenty food and drink places.

can't take your own drink in there though.

the selection of food and drink is some of the best i've seen at a festival. they have the argyle food place which is much bigger than the one at T. they also have a haggis van.

best selection of booze i've seen. the usual cider and beer, plus spirits and mixer, bacardi breezers, real ale bar, coctails, pimms.

plenty of stages aswell. there's the main stage, clash tent, soulwax tent (which i think will be replaced by something else this year) sunday best tent, the unsigned bands tent, myspace bus, plus the soco social bar and rizla bus which both had dj's on, not sure if they will be back this year but i think they will be replaced with something else if they're not back this year.

frendliest festival i've been to. you get talking to so many people.

the toilets last year were the cleanest toilets i've seen at a festival. there were staff there all the time cleaning them, putting toilet roll in and picking up any rubbish.

the arena and campsite are both really small. it's a five minute walk from your tent to the arena and it is so easy to find your way around.

[rexclark]

[thetime]

You'll love it, the weather's normally quite good and the crowd are excellent.

[rexclark]

[thetime]

The main acts should be announced in the next few weeks then the rest in dribs and drabs next year.
