Headliners

[TheHiddenPassenger]

What's the chances of Hot Chip playing? Seen them at T in 2010 and they were shit hot.

Also I noticed that the Rockness twitter page has just recently started following Jack Beats, so I reckon they'll be heading up north this year. Staying with the Scottish dance acts, I'd be very happy to see dunfermline lad Mizuki (just signed to Flux Pavilion's label Circus Records) would be a good one to see early on in the day.

[Chiefski]

Good call with Hot Chip, one of those acts that are usually wanted on here every year I've noticed, would make a good tent headliner imo

Reckon we will know a potential name or two come the end of the week with the Parklife announcement

[rexclark]

Hot Chip would be an excellent booking, very surprised they haven't played yet.

[Elbear]

Reckon we'll get Foals playing quite high up with the new album coming out in April. Could see them in a Friendly Fires type slot from last year, or even headlining the tent one night.

Hot Chip would be a tremendous bit of business. I've not heard much about them live, they any good?

[Dom Wall]

Jack White

Fatboy Slim

The Vaccines.

Sub:

Stereophonics

Hot Chip

Two Door Cinema Club.

[guitarbhoy1888]

Stereophonics won't sub

They'll headline and affect the calibre of the rest of the lineup

[TheHiddenPassenger]

Two Door Cinema Club are playing T so that's pretty much a no-go.

Summerburst Festival in Sweden is on the same weekend and they have Axwell, David Guetta, Otto Knows, Steve Aoki, and Hardwell so any of those could potentially play.

Rock Am Ring is also on the same weekend which The Prodigy are headlining so we could potentially see people like Boys Noize (live), Bloody Beetroots, or someone like Ellie Goulding or The Wombats play.

[guitarbhoy1888]

rock am rings very heavy, i reckon the only ones from that would be the ones you've mentioned, fun, fritz kalkbrenner and at a push, hurts

although i do expect ellie goulding and the wombats to be at T ... ellie gouldings pretty big atm and wombats played rockness last time round ...

[TheHiddenPassenger]

Aye they two seem pretty much T bound. Looking at the T lineup from last year I reckon Rockness will possibly go for people like Chase & Status, Nero, Skream, Jack Beats, The Horrors, Amy MacDonald, Miike Snow, Flux Pavilion, as they tend to pick up a few acts from each other every year.

2ManyDJs and Arty could be potential acts too after playing the Arches last month.

I'd also quite like to see a Pendulum DJ set, been to one a few years back and it was really good.

(sorry if I keep saying random artists but it's fun to speculate haha)

[gordong]

Would happily have everyone from Summerburst except Guetta, would not like to see him at Rockness. Dance music, more specifically 'progressive house' is getting huge at the moment so acts like Axwell, Otto Knows & Hardwell would attract a lot of people to Rockness. Think Axwell & Hardwell would be very expensive these days though. 2manydjs haven't played at Rockness since 2010 and although they play literally every 6 months, I think they are a good tent headliner for those who havent seen them.

Arty was supposed to play Chambre 69 in Glasgow in November but it got cancelled cause he missed his flight so it's been reschueduled for March. Would love to see him, but dunno where he would fit in at Rockness. Think Jack Beats have a good chance of playing. Pretty sure Boys Noize will play with his live show aswell, either that or T have snapped him up. Can definitely see Disclosure playing Rockness, choking to see them. Think Magnetic Man have an album coming out this year, maybe see them return aswell, definitely need to have them inside a tent this time though if they play. Either that or Skream & Benga will be on the line up somewhere, T had them both in 2012 so it's Rockness's turn.

The one I was thinking was if the qotsa rumours are true could enter shikari sub them ...

Rigorously touring before it and then download second stage headliners

[guitarbhoy1888]

Or gaslight anthem

Also playing download ...

[devilman]

Forget any crossover with Download, the date change has messed that up. QOTSA will not be at Rockness, nor Enter Shakira. I don't mind though beacause I will be at DL................and at the Ironworks for ES for that matter.

[TheHiddenPassenger]

Might be a long shot but could Madness be in with a shout?

[rexclark]

Enter Shikari? Good grief.

Been going to rockness for all the years its been going, and its always been an amazing time! However every year the line up seems to fade away from what I'd quite like to see. As stated many times before its a business like alot of festivals and they have to adapt and change to whats going to sell tickets.

Fuck knows,I'm wasted anyway! Every year the line up becomes less and less appealing to me,maybe its time to change festivals and start going to rewind or something.

Getting one act like money would be enough for me to buy a ticket.seen many many dj's over the years and moby played probably one of the best ive ever seen at the liquid rooms in Edinburgh.

Let's see what the line up is like over the next couple of weeks.just hope its not all chase and status,Nero,skream,ES etc etc.not saying there shit,but just not for me,which is a shame because I don't want to stop going to rockness.

[Gingo]

Sadly, Guetta is probably the most likely. Loves playing Scotland, played T last year and fits perfectly with Rockness's 'dance day'

[skinzo]

The main stage is usually dance acts only on the Saturday.

[JamesT977]

Had seen on the Download thread that Public Enemy are apparently touring Europe this summer and playing festivals. They could surely be in with a shout?
