new acts

[jwilsonjohnny]

Blondie is a cracking announcement to be honest, one of the great bands from back in the day!

Really happy with Green Velvet, High Contrast and The Freestylers!

Good wee announcement!

[Window Licker]

Blondie are superb, with a back catalogue every other act on the line-up can only dream about.

And she'd still get it

I whole heartedly hope Debbie Harry breaks her hip before Rockness so we can get a half decent replacement.

I'll break her hip

[FannyBaws]

Now, now what did Debbie Harry ever do to you man! Use yer head, there will be plenty going on aroun the place. Im also taking my wee boogie box and ipod, so if nothing I like is playing on stage, will go for a wander to the campsite and listen to stuff. There will be other stuff on as well. When I was at Electric Picnic in 2008, Sinead OConnor was playing in one of the tents, so ah used ma head, I wandered to the opposite end, as I cant stand her, I didnt wish she was injured and would have to cancel, you make your own fun or go to T.

Fair do's. I'll accept the point when it's put like that.

The line-up is still gash, just as well i'm going with a good group of people.

I just don't see where the dance music followers are supposed to go to end the Sunday night if Strokes et al are on main stage and Blondie takes over the Clash Arena. I know there's smaller tents but there's also a lot of dance music fans that go to Rockness and all of them trying to cram into the smaller tents will just be pandemonium, imo.

[FannyBaws]

go and see Dave Clarke, Vitalic, 2manydjs & the bloody beetroots on the sunday if you're wanting dance music, Dave Clarke on the afterburner will be absolutly mental!!

Also remember theres the likes of the rizla arena to be announced, and they have some decent dance acts!

[jwilsonjohnny]

Thats what I'm saying, if Blondie is clash headliner instead of 2manyDJs then thats the biggest arena and main stage took up with non-electronic music, therefore there's going to be a lot of dance fans looking to cram into the smaller tents. Of course there is other people on elsewhere in the smaller tents but if the larger stages dont cater to a large section of the crowd then it's going to be crazy.

green velvet, derrick may and optimo.

that'll do pig, that'll do.

Blondie if I recall costed big bucks at the Galway Arts Festival, it was something like 50 or 60 euros to see them, so RockNess for me is good value. Its actually taken a step toward Electric Picnic land in procuring Blondie, guaranteed to bring in a bit of an older crowd along with Leftfield, maybe less neds because of, eh!

Just noticed what i cant see on the poster but is on the web-site

DERRICK MAY!!!!!!

man o man im jizzing in my own mooth 4 that yen!!

[parkylad]

im still hoping its and april fools

[pinkartstudent]

ah so much negativity

Yeah its a slight disapointment with some of the acts, but there is so much to see at Rockness if you dont like an act.

Im looking forward to seeing Macacabees, an album that i loved during the summer, also Crystal Castles will be amazing on the friday... its looking great over the weekend.Everyone has different tastes.

Will check out Alabama 3 again

[theampersanddevil]

Decided that this news tonight deserves a post which is nothing but positive.

Derrick May, wow just wow. Only seen him once a long time ago.

Alabama 3 are one of my favourite live bands, just to hear what they say inbetween all they great tunes.

Dananana I have never seen, so I can't wait.

Crystal Castles have grown on me a bit since a few folks on here recommended them.

On top of that there is a lot I am interested to see, such as fergie not seen him in years, maccabees - soft spot for them, (I know the last remnents of respect the few on here had for me just left town) and quite a few others.

I wonder if they will play acoustic or their live set. Both were amazing last summer

Looks like Derrick May has been removed!! :-(

[theampersanddevil]

Even then you didn't mention Blondie. which is probably the biggest one in the announcement for me. Alabama 3 and Derrick May I'm looking forward to too.

And High Contrast of course!

[Eh Ah Ken]

It would be announced as Unplugged so I reckon it's probably the live set, with Devlin back hopefully

But yeah both are always good

[Kyelo]

she is lovely. who is that???

[Paul ™]

[Eh Ah Ken]

If it is the chick from Alabama 3 then I'd say that photo is generous
