The announcement.

[eFestivals]

the further north you are the later the sun rise and the earlier the sunset

Nope .... what you say is true in winter but the reverse is true in summer.

And opposite to that, there's less variation in sunrise and sunset times in all seasons the closer you get to the equator.

I see! I have seen it getting dark here till 10pm then the sun rising again at 3.30-4am in summer. (maybe im just confusing myself )

Would that mean in London its dark before 10pm (never been to London)

Anyway my mistake sorry!

depends if you're talking "dark" or "sunset".

But, for example, sunrise on solstice morning at Stonehenge (which is about the same distance south as london) is between 4:45am and 4:50am - so if sunrise is really the "3.30-4am in summer" that you say somewhere north of that it proves the longer daylight in summer ooop north.

Cheers for the explanation! Never something I have looked at! As you say I must be getting confused with the winter day length as there is hardly any day light here just now (pitch dark just now, and has been for a while)

Sorry for going off topic

Well, I meant that when I saw Deadmau5 at TITP this year, when he started, it was pretty much daylight and it was a good hour into his set before it was proper dark and I just felt that with his stage and lights, it's works so much better when it's pitch black, like I though the show was much better in the Barrowlands. He still puts on an amazing show and I'd love to see him as a headliner for Rockness.

the dream is bloc party, justice and foos but can only see justice playing out of that lot but you never know eh .. wierder things have happend

[Gingo]

Doesn't that stage at TITP stop at like 11pm though?

[Rockness2012]

Cant wait for this years line up! only launches in 3 DAYS! 26th of January!

Do you think the headliners will be like last years with a chilled out act on the Sunday???

[gordong]

Yeah, it's weird the curfew for TITP is 12am on Friday, then 11pm on Saturday and Sunday. I think maybe the mainstage headliner will be more chilled again this year, but they will have someone mental in the tent, like Boys Noize last year!

The Cure just posted that on Facebook and there is a suspicous gap on the weekend of Rockness.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I said a while back that I could see the Cure doing Rockness & Hop Farm, everybody seems certain that they'll do Latitude, however the dates already announced would make that a little difficult, not impossible, but a lot of effort.

I don't really care anyway, I'm seeing them at Optimus Alive.

Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro and Tenacious D to play Friday night.

Deadmau5 to play mainstage Saturday.

Noel Gallagher to close the festival.

It would be a fantastic booking for Rockness if they got The Cure and a step in the right direction booking wise with something a bit different rather than recycled TITP acts.

I'd be gutted if The Cure were to play and clashed with Justice though. I'd say they'd probably play the Friday or Sunday with the big dance headliner on the Saturday night as usual.

Really cant see The Cure playing as much as it would be a great booking/step in a different direction. Same with the Foo's really, think they would have had a few other European dates announced already if they were going to play Rockness. Interesting to see who the 3rd headliner will be (if were all assuming Biffy and Deadmau5 are two of them), people will moan about it regardless lol

[arcticg]

Duck sauce announced this morning they have some exciting news for Europe,any1 think they would make a good wee addition?

a-track on his own would do me nicely:)

[Pengers]

Pulp have to be in with a shout aswell. What about the reformed Blur? They are winning the brit award, and are working on new materials..

[rexclark]

I think some people are over estimating the size of Rockness and the acts it could pull. I guess we'll find out in a couple of days.

[gazza_20]

when is the announcement of headliners again?
