Jim said on the Q&A Facebook session on the 24th February that more acts will be announced over the next 4 weeks

The official Facebook admin (Rosie) has stated more announcements would be before the end of the month

Poleski has heard from a friend at AEG that it would be Tuesday past

I have been told by Jim King that it would have been this week

Latest is it is hoping to be announced by the weekend but agents are delaying it.. shit happens.

This wil be the first year i'll have missed Rockness. The lack of lineup announcements is a joke. I;m going for Parklife this year, at only £60 for the weekend, cheap ticket & hotel deals its working out the same price as Rockness. Not to mention the fantastic lineup! As its the same weekend I would assume they will be sharing some acts with Rockness. STill be good to see what Rockness pulls out the bag!

Just a shame really that Rockness can't deliver the announcements when we are told.

They're behind the game in that respect by a long way.

If they're still wanting people to come along then people that aint too sure might just swing another way to another festival like Parklife. others keep banging out announcements creating a bigger and bigger attraction.

:O

As I (and many) have said before, the line-up is not very strong. My outrageous theory is that the promoters are also aware of this fact (perhaps they have just got it wrong this year?) and that's why they continue to stall with the announcements. I think the majority of punters are hoping for a big announced, or at least a stronger depth of acts to justify their ticket purchase.

Bearing in mind the advertising posters have been printed, I do not think this boosting announcement will happen, and the promoters know this so they are holding off and holding off and trying to make us think something will come (sell a few more tickets based on the 'what might' be announced basis) when in truth, they know that when that final announcement drops and punters find out 'that's it', they will choose another festival...

... Which has just sold out leaving the punter with, well, probably still RN as tickets will surely remain! Clever!

That's just my theory tho! :)

I've not really been that bothered about the whole line up situation until now. I thought that by paying £99 for a ticket, it would take alot to put me off going. But looking at the line up, there is in fact about 12 acts that I would even think about going to see.

With all this f**king about with the announcement, I'm starting to get pretty pissed off. Rockness currently has it's weakest line up ever and had I not already bought my ticket, I wouldnt be going. This announcement better have some serious good names. Feel a bit ripped off, Rockness is supposed to be a dance/indie festival and it's just a big mixup of all sorts of acts. This years Creamfields absolutely blows rockness out the water IMO.... Even TITP has a better dance line up and thats not even a dance festival!

    • Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more. 
    • I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.
    • It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
    • Shambles. Transport and comms garbage. Been looking forward to this since last June and have never been to a more disorganised festival in 30+ years.  Why we were told the whole festival was cancelled for the night if they had put back shows for a few hours?  Pissed off to say the very least and put a huge downer on the rest of the weekend.
