The announcement.

[gazza_20]

Randomly out the blue guys but Rockness announcement be back due to anything to do with Pulp?

Recent twitter from them has said, so you think this is over.

They played R&L, Electric Picnic, T, Wireless and a couple of their own after gigs.

They are not a Download or Sonisphere band.

I know T covers Scotland but Rockness would be a smaller fest on a UK exclusive headline show.

Though Lattitude may be an option too

After seeing them last year at Leeds I would love to see them again.

One of the best bands I have seen, Common people closing the festival was just magical. But I don't see it happening. I think they might do a small tour but not festivals again. I could be very wrong though.

I think the delay in announcing headliners could be to do with Snow Patrol not selling out at SECC.

Noticed that The Killers and Bloc Party have both announced new albums in the last week or so. Anyone reckon either of them could be a shout for Rockness? I reckon either of them could headline the festival and the delay of announcement could have been due to them wanting to wait until 2012 to confirm their new albums? No evidence to support this at all, just putting it out there.

Bloc party would be amazing ..would make the weekend

[gordong]

Would love to see Bloc Party, I think they would be a good headliner for the Friday. Snow Patrol can GTF, I personally think they are guff. Some good songs and that, but not for headlining Rockness.

As much as everyone hates them, Swedish House Mafia would put on a good show. Anyone that saw them at titp last year would agree. I have the full set on my iTunes and they actually play a good mix.

Actually no chance, but I'd love to see Foo Fighters as the Rock headliner for Rockness.

[Chiefski]

Would quite like Bloc Party at Rockness, have enough to appeal to indie and dance crowds too. Mentioned in the predictions thread that I think New Order could be one of the headliners too. As much as people would object too it Snow Patrol could probably headline Rockness, in the same type of slot as Paulo Nutini etc

[thedementedpoppet]

I'd be VERY surprised if Jim ever contemplated booking Snow Patrol.

[Kyelo]

Snow Patrol are a far bigger act than Paolo and would cost a hell of a lot more.

[rexclark]

I've a feeling Mogwai will play, second stage headliners perhaps?

Mogwai would be ace, they would have to play Sunday night though, wouldn't be able to hear anything for the rest of the weekend otherwise

[scanerack]

Not been active on here for years as aint been to any festivals due to work commitmants,

But I will be at Rockness this year and Im so looking forward to getting deep down and dirty!!!

anyway throwing my tuppence worth into the mix, would love to see the black keys, they could play a cracking set what with there latest album and back catalogue..........

[Eh Ah Ken]

Black keys would be immense. but with there recent success i can see T snapping that.

[Chiefski]

I agree, The Black Keys will be hot property this summer I reckon, could headline the smaller fests like Latitude and get high spots (potential King Tuts/High NME) at the likes of T

[pothead pixie]

So who is playing then, has anyone been announced yet. If no one is announced by now it looks like Rockness will be going the same route as Oxegen, I dont think there is going to be a Rockness this year.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Plenty of Festivals haven't announced yet.

[Paul ™]

Rockness is 100% going ahead, due to launch in the next 10 days or so

[Chiefski]

26th wasnt it? They are doing a 'guess the headliners' competition on their facebook at the moment, Guessing they will have a fair whack of the lineup announced then.

[Eh Ah Ken]

they bloody better have a fair whack announced. If they litterally announce the 6 headliners im going to really whine and moan and go in a wee strop about it.

[Poleski]

Biffy Clyro in with a shout?

[Chiefski]

Certainly seems possible with what they have announced, along with Chase and Status?

[pancake70]

I think deadmau5 will be one of the headliners as he is playing in Belfast on the Thursday before Rockness.

[rory_oh]

from the download announcement rockness headliners could easily be...

Friday - Biffy

Saturday - Prodigy (with c&s subbing?)

would put money on at least one being right
