2013 lineup

[Chiefski]

I reckon Bloc Party will be at Rockness this year. They have been announced for IOW the week before but not for T, think Rockness have pulled a good act out the bag if they have.

[Joe-]

Did anybody see gesaffelstein

[muffins]

Quite looking forward to see who Rockness will announce now...

[muffins]

Also anyone heard this yet, rumoured leaked track off the new Daft Punk album

Think it's fake but it's still really good and does sound like daft punk.

sounds far too 80's pop for me to think its DP

the rumours been going round for years now... doubt it though

[theampersanddevil]

Did anybody see gesaffelstein or t.e.e.d. I prefer the smaller lesser known acts likes

[burnsy07]

So what date is the line-up getting announced? Cant wait for next year

[gordong]

Obviously they couldn't of known T in the Park's line up but Rockness has missed a trick here by releasing the tickets for this year so late, I think a lot of people would be wanting to buy a Rockness ticket after the disappointment from the T line up. From the reaction of people I know and from of the comments on the T Facebook page, looks like a lot of people are interested in trying Rockness or other festivals this year instead and I think they would of sold a lot of tickets for Christmas presents etc. I just hope the potential influx of people from T in the Park doesn't have an impact on the atmosphere of Rockness, which I've always found to be much more friendly...

There in lies the problem. For rockness to be long term and/or attract bigger acts, it needs to grow and attract more folk. And with that comes the change of crowd. Tough one

[texas_pedro]

It's got no chance of growing IMHO if they can't even stick up next year's dates on their own website 6 months before the festival is supposedly on. How hard can it be?

They should have had early bird tickets on sale before the Stone Roses and TITP tickets went on sale.

It's almost as if the organisers are trying to slowly kill Rockness off.

[Chiefski]

Electric Picnic has a bigger variety of acts does it not? Always thought its lineup followed a style similar to Bestival (yeah, the 'Nesstival' arguments been done) if anything though, the lack of competition over there helps it I'd have thought.

Could be that one or two of the main acts they have cant be announced till a certain time, and RN would probably find it better to announce these together?

Would love to see Above & Beyond make an appearance.

[pothead pixie]

Apparently Queens Of the Stone Age have self confirmed for this.

neil ...

do some digging, try find out whats going on

[Jagerman]

Would love to see Above & Beyond at Rockness, don't get why they don't book more dance acts. It originally was a dance festival! You think of Creamfields which is the same price (albeit bigger, think it's 50,000) and they book an unbelievable amount of djs. Don't think Rockness what direction to go in the past few years, seems like they are trying to compete against Titp with recent line ups and that is so stupid cause they are never gonna be able to book the same scale of acts...

[gordong]

I'm not talking about specifically trance djs, I'm just talking about djs in general, they are booking less and less 'big names' each year. Obviously the afterburner and Sub Club tent have really good line ups, but it would be good to see some more mainstream djs in the Clash tent.

[cambyman]

Colours announce Fatboy Slim to play arches in March.

[Paul ™]

Apparently Queens Of the Stone Age have self confirmed for this.

[devilman]

I think they jumped the gun..

[gordong]

The XX announced quite a few big shows across Europe today, could they be in with a chance of playing?
