Guy Rope Tripper Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 First time Rockness'er, serial T in the Park'er. Been going to T for 7 years straight & decided to take in a different festival this year along with T. So who's been to both? How does the atmosphere differ? Less of a ned presence I'd imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesteve Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Better Ampsphere. Better lineup ( IMO ) Better toilets Better layout ( Doesnt take you a year to walk to arena ) Better Location. Less neds. Less people ( Easier to move ) Less hassle ( Its alot friendlier ) T has got a bigger array of artists tho, Rockness doesnt feel like the Irn Bru Carnival either. And its alot smaller. Better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkititp Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Have to agree with the above posters. Generally atmosphere is better. Weather seems to always be better. Less walking involved. Beautiful scenery. Etc etc Only think I found was there was more folk stealing stuff out of peoples tents. That could just be my eagle eye by I didn't see much of that at TITP even though I know it goes on there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Done 6 T's, 2 Rockness's. -The site at Rockness is smaller so it's far easier to get around. -Yes there are less neds, there's a far nicer atmosphere with the same buzz. -Campsite has a beer exchange. -You have more choice of drink in the arena. -There is entertainment until 4am. -Toilets are cleaner. -Site is stunning. -The mainstage has like a natural bowl looking down on it so you can get a good view from everywhere. -Security isn't as daft(ie scanning tickets all the time). I'm sure there are more but can't think! You'll have a belter either way! *edit* it takes 5 minutes to walk from the campsite to the arena.

_Warriors Dance_ Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I was glad to see the back of TITP last year where as with Rockness it's more homely and was quite upset to be leaving! (in a manly way of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
