ROCKNESS 2012 LINEUP

[rexclark]

Must say I'd have prefered Justice on the Main. Although they aren't big enough to headline, I don't think many people would've been complaining if they did. The tent will be good, but when it gets too rammed it wastes it a bit. I like a bit of room for a dance!

I would prefer 2 dance headliners and one indie on the main stage, but it really doesn't matter that much because the line up as a whole is always amazing with the best acts being further down the bill.

[rexclark]

Would absolutely love Hot Chip. Any chance of them maybe headlining the second stage or are they too big? Another act that I find strange that have never been booked Air being another one.

[Da_J_Doc-~]

And continue to loose money? It needed to evolve or it wouldn't be here today.

I know mate i know, and you know i know, just felt it could have been Scotlands answer to Lattitude or bestival or a hybrid of the two with just a wee bit of vision, sadly we don't have the population to allow it to be a commercial success like those festivals, although Bella does buck that trend with its continuing sell out year on year.

[Poleski]

Or maybe one pulled out?

[rexclark]

SHM I'm guessing?

[Kowalski]

Yeah I agree, 2 dance headliners would be braw, but I guess there just isn't enough headline quality dance acts about.

SHM I'm guessing?

[Kyelo]

No idea, just thought I read somewhere one did pull out?

[pothead pixie]

Death in Vegas at Electric Picnic 2011 - An excellent appearance from a skeletal tyrannosaurus rex during the set.

Nice to see Chic playing, Nile Rogers cancer must be on the mend. The Electric Picnic 2009.

[pothead pixie]

Mumford and Sons at 2010 Electric Picnic, a bit of shaky camera there.

[festkid]

I'd like to see Duck Sauce.. or either Atrak or Armand playing separately? Am I being hopeful?

[gordong]

I'd maybe guess that Swedish House Mafia aren't selling tickets quick enough for Milton Keynes and for that reason, they pulled out?

[blackg1000]

I think they'd probably play together if RockNess booked them. I think they are cheaper as Duck Sauce than seperately. Apparently Armand on his own is really steeeeep. Hence why he rarely plays anywhere.

Been in hibernation festival-wise since the Summer. Just checking out the line-up there now.

Can't say I'm a fan of any of the headliners but Justice & Etienne De Crecy are a huge draw for any Dance Merchants who are seriously considering not going simply due to the supposed weaker line up.

If those French Electro Giants don't get the juices flowing then f*ck knows what people expect.

Like many have said on here... who exactly is available and at what cost???

Festivals need to keep things fresh and roll with the years. The line-up may seem mediocre to some but its a sign of the financial and musical times we're living in, the landscape changes each year, bigger older acts step down and take time off, younger newer acts try to take their place... you can still bet your bottom dollar its going to be a savage weekend!!!

A few more announcements and I might just get up of my arse and make the road trip over again. I quite missed the buzz of the place last year, not to mention the banter and all the other divilment!

[Poleski]

Plus A-Trak is shit on his own. The most dissapointing DJ I've ever seen.

[festkid]

Considering he has won DJ cmpetitions etc since he was 14 he is a ridiculously boring and predictable DJ. Just surfing his successes.
