LIVE Q & A WITH ROCKNESS' JIM KING HERE - 7PM

[Jim King]

get a wheelie bin

[super_sub]

i'd love a big stadium band to play. might not happen but i just want to be side of stage playing air guitar to massive records looking out to the audience on the hill pogo'ing up and down whilst the sun goes down over the hill.

faithless would be great, massive attack in the tent would be cool, MGMT would interesting,

i could be here all night on this one....

think you missed this.

what time do the bars shut? maybe allow people to take in their own booze once the bars are closed, then you won't be loosing money.

[Jim King]

MGMT would be amazin i agree!

or justice that would get the crowd pogo'ing i can guarantee it!

Is there any plans to add a few more ATM's ??

What about a comedy tent?

Regarding the T.V thing, what did Channel 4 have to do with it this year or are you using there internet player?

p.s I have left that e-mail for you by the way.

[Jim King]

Do you mean a massive stadium band such as foo fighters or Red hot chilli peppers?? This would be amazing, plus im loving your ideal lineup, massive attack and faithless would be awesome, MGMT on the mainstage i think would go down a treat

Hi Jim,

not sure if i,m to late to cath you tonight, the festival is excellent, loved the cash bars by the way.

My only gripe was the taxi queue was atrocious, is there anyway to allow the taxis a free run in and out as they seemed to get stuck at points and you could see 20 of them waiting to turn in with no joy as the vehicle queue was single file.

Oh also, Primal Scream for headliner next year, covers all bases and would rock the ness.

[Eh Ah Ken]

why do the campsite festivities shut at 2am?

the night clubs in dundee go till at least 2:30. i imagine most towns are the same...if not later.

thats the only gripe i have. we ended up having to play a bongo drum in the hat stand on camp to keep everyone dancing for the next hour on the sun. was well good tho...

[Jim King]

guys

i'm going to head off now if thats ok.

i'll be back on tomorrow though if there are any questions left and get answers back to you.

thanks again for taking the time to be on here and offer your feedback. it is very helpful and we do take it all seriously.

see you all on here again soon hopefully.

take care

we are looking to make the taxi area bigger for next year but its always going to be single file so they can only load the head of the Q and so the wait will always be the same unless we have 2 areas which is something we could look at.

[AmyAmyCuldo]

just a silly question really...

did you notice Dizzee Rascal was spelt incorrectly on the programs that were being sold?

it said Dizzy

Were you not advertising them at the bottom of the web-site!!

Anyway enjoy Glasto.

Cheers

[Jim King]

Jim if you had bays set up so say ten or so cabs could come in (say diagonally)so they could all be loaded and off at the same time would stop the single file and get the traffic moving.
