I seen both at T.

Brings me back to the days of panini football stickers, opening a pack of 6 and theyre all doubles. Arrrgh.

Surely to god Paolo wont be given a headline slot although Razorlight did get one in 2008. Still, hasn't Rock Ness grown to a point where they can afford to stick acts like these atleast 1 or 2 spots down the bill.

Interesting to see that he is "TBC" though as i wasnt thinking they'd be putting out smaller acts with the headliners so early in the announcements. Still could be the same idea as 2009 when the announced late in 2008 with Prodigy-Biffy and Basement Jaxx-Dizzee Rascal.

Also Im assuming Kasabian will be on the Friday to give them enough time to recover for Isle of Wight even though Prodders did knock out a hat trick of festivals for us in 2009.

im hoping we have get Paolo in a subheadline spot like they did with Biffy and Dizzee in 2009

I personally like Kasabian. I'm just worried the festival becomes too much like T, especially having one headline who headlined the other so soon. I seem to remember them saying that they don't want RockNess to become another T in the Park but if they start having the same headliners so soon after the other it will no doubt happen. Also I think a lot of your typical T goer who can't get tickets for T next year will just go to RN due to similar lineups etc. I can see things from an organisers perspective wanting to sell out though.

I would rather RockNess kept it's uniqueness as in my opinion it ticks every box for a fest.

yuck.

i REALLY don't want kasabian to headline. rockness has always been different to T, by not following the current trends with acts and having more eclectic acts headlining like flaming lips and super furry animals. they've always managed to get the best dance acts around and the type of acts playing have set the tone for the whole festival. jim has always made a point of saying that rockness is not like T, so if kasabian headline, f**k knows what he's thinking.. we don't need two T in the park's in scotland, it was great when rockness came along to have another big festival in scotland as an alternative to T. if it turns into a mini T next year with shite bands and a crowd full of arseholes, it might have to be my last year. i love rockness and don't want to see it going to shit :(

    • Yeah exactly, the shock moments, group layouts, etc all end up playing out differently once you get into the tournament. However you tweak it, you don't predict shocks.
    • I could see Muse doing BST, Lytham Festival and the one in Cardiff next year.
