Headliners

[muffins]

Rockness just posted on facebook that £99 early bird tickets go on sale Monday, guessing line-up announcement sometime in the next fortnight then.

I see the efests RN page has Dave Guetta as a rumour surely they could get 2 or 3 better people for the money they would pay for him?

[Gothenburg83]

guettas been rumour on efests page for a while has he not?!

[Chiefski]

Will be next friday for main ticket sale, I reckon, possibly a mini presale beforehand

[rossm18]

Hopefully we just get 75 percent of it in the one go and it includes the 3 headliners

[Shootenanny!]

A few of good acts announced before Monday could well convince me to go.

I want to go but I'm wary of committing before I see anyone announced after being so disappointed with the TITP announcement this year after I bought tickets early.

Example just announced on twitter that he's headlining 5 uk festivals this year.

I reckon he and Calvin Harris are certs

[guitarbhoy1888]

I'm taking example as a cert

Although I reckon now if cvin Harris plays he'll be in the same position as justice last year ...

[marky3]

example as a headliner would be a real disappointment. especially after all the "it's worth the wait" patter

[gordong]

I'm thinking Example, Stereophonics and then a more dance-y headliner. Dunno if I can see the Prodigy being there this year, got a feeling T in the Park have got them. David Guetta would be very very expensive, would be surprised if it was him. I think it's between Fatboy Slim, Chase & Status and Calvin Harris, but with Calvin's close ties with T, I'm leaning more towards Chase & Status or Fatboy Slim.

I never thought example was big enough to headline the rockness main stage .. Mabey sub or headline the tent but I don't think he's big enough for the main stage

He could headline a festival of that size easily enough, though not sure he will.

[Chiefski]

I'm not a big fan of him (Example) really, but he did have the crowd going the last time he played Rockness

Was just away to say the same thing. Wouldn't mind him subbing Calvin.

Example will not sub Calvin, Example's the bigger act

[thewayiam]

I would definitely disagree. Calvin Harris is the first British artist ever to have 7 top ten singles off one album.

[Chiefski]

If Calvin toured more I'm sure he would sell it out too

[stephenrimmington]

I feel with Example he's been everywhere for the past three years, especially in 2011 in terms of festivals, that having him as a headliner this year is not particularly exciting for any festival. He's released albums at the same rate as Rihanna since 2010.

The Calvin Harris/Example comparison is interesting as they've both had similar amounts of chart success but since Calvin Harris stopped performing live and played exclusively DJ sets, he's almost had to reinvent himself as an act.
