Shockingly bad line-up

Just gotta say how majorly disappointed I am with this year's line-up. I know there are more to come, but the so-called big names are p*ss poor.

Example was great last time he played and I'm sure he'll put on a good show - but headliner??? And Basement Jaxx - come on! When you compare headliners from previous festivals Rockness has gone rapidly downhill in the past two years.

Rockness is forgetting its roots, it was set up as a predominantly dance music based festival.....and yet not one DJ was listed in this first line-up announcement. P*sh!

If I'm honest I mainly go for the campsite banter and the Soma / Sub Club stages......and I know they can at least be relied upon to pull a couple of decent acts out the bag.

But I have been running a bus to Rockness every year for the past 6 years - and now I'll be lucky if I get enough bodies to fill a mini never mind a bus.

Sorry for the negative chat peeps, just gutted my favourite fest is becoming rather cack.

your forth paragraph proves that the main stage "headliners" don't effect your festival experience? so what is the big panic in your case? There should be a strong undercard.

Although I do agree with what you said about the festival changing direction, but I think we are just going to have to deal with that I am afraid

I don't agree, I think the festival organisers have produced a strong undercard so far, and they're are still announcements to come. Not a fan of Example myself, but Jaxx are a great live act, Fatboy is a welcomed return in my eyes.More from Soma and Sub coming too, which I'm particularly excited about, and for if you compare the price of RN to other festivals in Scotland.. it's good value.

Well in that case Alex, I think you must be smoking crack! ( Compare it to line-ups in previous years )

The 2nd announcement made last week was also garbage. I enjoyed Fatboy last time round - but again? Madeon - again? Above & Beyond - TRANCE!??! ( Expect a higher ned count due to this shocking booking ).

basement jaxx put on a good show, example is good live, fatboy slim is really really good, above & beyond and madeon are both also really good. Plan B (if you do get him) does put on one hell of a show, and theres still most of the line up to go. I'm jealous i can't go (GCSES)

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
