Have always fancied trying this so hope it manages to carry on. I would agree with those pointing out that it would likely be well cold camping at night in September. Was at the BigStooshie in 2012 early May and we had hailstones ! Had to sleep in the car and a few folk struggled with how cold it got. For me it`s got to be June, July, August in these parts although we all know the weather can be shit at anytime up here.

Think it's safe to say if rockness was on the same weekend this year that foals would headline since there headlining park life in Manchester who we shared 2 headliners with last year. There other headliner would be interesting though, snoop dog haha

Am not sure anyone official confirmed about a date move.

The date move part came from 'an insider'

An insider said: “RockNess 2014 is absolutely not dead in the water but a suitable date hasn’t been agreed on yet.

“It might be on held later in the year, maybe in September.”

I wouldn't have minded if they were taking a year off this year. Obviously sales have went down and there is so much competition these days with other festivals so it's going to struggle.

The thing that has really fucked me off, not for the first time, is the non-existent communaction to the public of what is happening. It's almost as if they've just hoped if they stay as quiet as possible, people will forget. They've shown so much disregard to the fans who have been to this great festival countless times.

C'mon guys and gals keep it lively, if Jim King see's no one commenting they might not bother with the festival at all, there might still be an announcement. Only Longitude has announced in Ireland so far, Forbidden Fruit which happens the week before RockNess hasn't announced anything yet and many festivals don't get announced till March. Hang in there, keep the speculation coming.

I will be so devastated and Pi$$ed off if rockness is cancelled this year, talk about leaving us hanging....

PLEASE ROCKNESS GIVE US AN ANNOUNCEMENT ASAP....

What are other good options apart from T in the park? Have never been to any others in the Scotland/England apart from Rockness.

Agreed for Kendal Calling.

That said, KC's late-night dance tent is pants. Utter shite. Shite decor. Shite vibe. And (mostly) shite tunes. And lots of shouty northerners with their t-shirts off forming a ring and pushing each other.

A version of "Sub Club in a field" it is not. :-)

Rest of KC is really great though.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
