I've thoroughly enjoyed going to the first five Rockness festivals but its time for me to move on, as I am no longer part of the demographic they are trying to attract. I don't have a problem with this at all as there are plenty of other festivals, and I sold my ticket a few weeks ago.

Have a good one guys! :D

Nothing huge on the lineup but wasnt expecting much more big names to be honest.

Wide range of acts though, some that I will probably catch -

Laidback Luke

Boxer Rebellion

Beardyman

Broken Records

Saint Saviour

Example

Sons & Daughters

Harvey McKay

Derricl Carter

Andy Weatherall

Funk D'Void

Plus need to check out some others, anyone fancy doing a Spotify playlist? Or similar?

Not sure who is the Arena headliners are on the Sunday yet. Hopefully get the stage splits soon :)

I'm still confident it's going to be a good year, the only thing that’s slightly annoying me is that all the acts I want to see I've seen before:

The Chemical Brothers, Boys Noize, Fake Blood, Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco, Clouds, Magnetic Man.

Will probably try and catch a few acts I haven't seen before though:

The Japanese Popstars, Sub Focus, Katy B, DJ Shadow, Mark Ronson (DJ Set), Modeselektor, Magda, We Are Scientists.

Looking at those lists I know theres going to be a lot to keep me happy so roll on June 10th!

Aye there will be plenty to keep me busy anyway over the weekend, not to mention just the eFest campsite banter over the weekend.

For the £99 I paid I think it's worth it. Not sure if I would have stretched to £150 for it though, and definately wouldn't pay £200 for VIP or whatever for it.

Considering 3 nights camping alone can cost you around £30 for the weekend on a campsite with facilities, add on the cost of seeing say the Chems and Kasabian (£30 each) then it does seem good value.

9 weeks today till I head up for it...Bring on the sun B)

I am buzzing for the weekend now: Chemical Bros, Magnetic Man, Two Door Cinema Club, Modeselektor, Laidback Luke, Erol Alkan, Nero, Beardyman, Jamie XX, Groove Armada, DJ Shadow, Boys Noize, Simian Mobile Disco, Annie Mac, Fake Blood, Sub Focus, Jesse Rose, Clouds... and late nights at Arcadia! I am a very happy man!

Admittedly, it's not a brilliant announcement, but I'm quite happy with the line-up as it is. Plenty of acts there that I love and plenty of acts there that are new to me, which is what festivals are all about for me.

I have a feeling there will be more to come too. For example, Carl Craig hasn't even been mentioned, but Rockness is still down on his website as an upcoming gig.

I love the idea behind the Rock n Roll Circus and I'm ~seriously~ loving the fact that Arcadia Afterburner will be going on 'til 3am. Does that mean we can expect the headliners of Arcadia not to start until later? That would mean Mr Alkan would be on after the main stage and Arena headliners have finished. Can you imagine how mental the area around Arcadia Afterburner is going to be come 1am?

Not a brilliant announcement - but I think everyone on here built themselves up for a fall anyway. Nobody from Rockness said a 'huge' announcement with 'big name' acts was coming....we were just told more names.

Personally, I was already well happy with the line-up and I'm actually interested in a couple of the headliners for a change.

I'm even happier now FUNK D'VOID, IVAN SMAGGHE, and JAPANESE POPSTARS have been confirmed. :D

    • 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.
