[Glitter+Vodka]

can some one post the twitter link? the one on the rockness website isnt working and the rock ness 2010 one i found on twitted has nothing posted on it since june?

[rexclark]

I'll probably just keep any eye on here tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be morning they'll make the announcement, I can't be bothered having to check every five minutes.

[Glitter+Vodka]

strokes, jay z and/or pink would be interesting!

but then they'd just go and ruin it wi filler pish!

[Poleski]

who thinks stereophonics and faithless will headline?

[ampersand]

i wouldnt write off the strokes at all

[Poleski]

nah it seems very plausible. would think the other two would be too big, but you never know.

[ampersand]

doubt jay z aye. pink could possibly. but strokes are still more likely

[Kasabianite]

doubt it tbh. think stereophonnics like titp a bit too much.

faithless, arnt they trying that new soundsystem project?

[Piratebhoy]

what time is the annoucemnet due? The rockness website is the same as its been all year, so i think it may be reported on twitter and maybe a news release.... if its on twitter, can someone post it on here? our work has band social network sites. (had to get special access for this forum!!!)

top three predictions:

Kasabian, The strokes and Groove Armada. Confident at least 2 will play.

Kasabian are playing T so no chance of them.

I actually think LCD Soundsystem are a good shout to play, James Murphy did a couple DJ sets last year and they have a new album out early next year. I'd love it if they played aswell, phenomenal live.

[Kasabianite]

They deffo playing T? thought that was a rumour.... the T in the P tactics is to just have everyone, then make them sign a deal not to play anywhere else in Scotland!!! w@nkers.

LCD would be quality, they are amazing live. not headliner in the true sense though, but a favourite of mine.

[Paul ™]

Camp Bestival moved their line up announcment from yesterday to today so they will possibly announce both at same press conference (Loudsound promote both events)

[Piratebhoy]

such an "in the know"chap Paul!!

[_Warriors Dance_]

comeeee oonnnnnn!

[Piratebhoy]

how? theyre just protecting their own. why would you pay £200 to see the bands you want in a less pretty place, when you could go and see them for far less money in a nicer location.

[ampersand]

They are w@nkers for basically monopolising the festival industry in Scotland, thats how. If it wasnt for good fortune, and very good managemnet, Rockness would struggle. it now attracts people from all over, even with a line up that is overshadowed by TintheP.

It wouldnt take much for Rockness to go under, only have to look at a few other to see that. so if TintheP keep exclusively booking the acts, then it offers less choice, and only takes a few outside factors to reduce profitability and ultimately thats when the backers look elsewhere.

you think its fair Ampersand?

[ampersand]

Do Rockness not do similar deal's with many acts to T?! i certainly can't mind any act headlining Rockness so far and going on to play T the following month.

I may be wrong though!!!

[Piratebhoy]

it's business. if you were geoff, you'd do the same.

and if you think that there are no great acts outside of t in the park as they make them all exclusive, then you've got to ask yourself, why not go to T?

[ampersand]

I have been to 7 tintheP and 3 rockness so far, and Rockness is by far the best. i didnt mean there is no great acts outside T, but they have the majority of them. all this is of course subjectory, as you troll the rockness forum, even though you are a heavy metal fan. wont get any of that sh!te at Rockness though!!!
