I'm not suggesting this is realistic - but the Flaming Lips and Weezer are currently on a joint headlining tour of North America, where they share the stage and take turns playing a song. I'd definitely buy a ticket if that show was headlining one of the days.

Not going to lie, i'd be pretty gutted if I had either/both Arcade Fire and Florence headlining. Florence would be decent 1 or 2 under the headliner on any day but she'd be another Paolo Nutini (A few hits and good songs but not really headliner material). Arcade Fire are the same. I like their music but be it Friday/Saturday/Sunday, is this really the kind of music you want played headlining?

Westlife/Take That are two massive bands in the world, sell millions of records. Wouldn't want them at a festival though haha :P . Arcade Fire just dont really strike me as a good festival band despite them being a good band generally. I'd love to go see them at a gig, even 1 or 2 below at a festival, but not headlining :rolleyes:

Good enough to headline Coachella but not quite big enough to headline Rockness? Trust me, I watched them hewadline at Leeds last year and it was mindblowing. I can assure you that Arcade fire are a headline act and will be for many years to come.

I would love to see Arcade Fire at Rockness!!!

I think they will play T instead tho as will Daft Punk if they tour.

Headliners i'd love that are possible to get: Moby, Massive Attack or Underworld, Primal Scream

Headliners that it will probably be 3 of : Swedish House Mafia, Guetta, Deadmau5, Biffy Clyro, Pendulum, Chase & Status

I would take Deadmau5 but would be wary of the crowd he might attract, him and SHM would attract loads of ned types.

Lower down the pecking order would also like to have: Crystal Method, Simian (back), Soulwax, Vitalic, Alex Gaudino, Chicane, Manics and Sasha & Digweed paining up would be immense.

I would love... Daft Punk (obviously). Justice, Etienne De Crecy, Deadmau5 would be alright... Soulwax, Sebastian Leger, Chemical Brothers (which will hopefully/most likely appear), Underworld, Orbital and maybe Lützenkirchen. But... not getting my hopes up :P kind of hope there is more that kind of music than the likes of biffy clyro though... or how sad, olly murs (surely not). and the less neds the better.

I finally took the plunge and bought one of the £99 tickets (which yes are still on sale). This will be my first Rock Ness and I'm really looking forward to it because the line up has always interested me but I've just never taken the plunge. I hope Daft Punk play but will take most of the ideas brought up in this thread :D

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
