I couldn't see Fatty playing any other day, and i reckon 2 many dj's will be on the saturday.

Any one got an idea what day The Strokes are playing?

I reckon it is FBS, Leftfield and then The Strokes.

Which would mean they clash with leftfield.

[Kyelo]

Im sure the Strokes are playing the Sunday.....i await someone shooting me down tho!!!

[Grant titp]

Well it's got to be either Friday or Sunday as they are playing IOW on Saturday so seen as they are the flagship act it should be Sunday.

[rexclark]

So leftfield friday i presume?

[Grant titp]

Could easily be the Saturday but I really hope not.

[Poleski]

Same

i would prefer fatboy slim to clash with 2manydjs.

[Grant titp]

+1

or at least they play at different times like sunday last year.

[Poleski]

Could you imagine a leftfield 2manydjs clash

[gordong]

I was talking to my mate about this, either way, no matter what, out of

2manydjs

Club 75

Fatboy Slim

Leftfield

The Strokes

You could only see 3 full sets

Poleski, 2manydjs are like confirmed to have a new set up, it was on the rockness website was it not?

[Grant titp]

Yeah I meant it in the sense that I'd easily see leftfield if 2manydjs didnt have a new set up etc. But cos they do it makes me desperate to see them haha

hi jim,

why have you picked fatboy slim to headline for the third time in 5 years? did you try to get another act but couldn't get them, or was fatboy your first choice? i can understand the same acts returning if they come back with a new set or if they are progressing up the line up, but to have him headlining again is a big disappointment.

also, what tents will be open on the friday night? will it just be the main stage along with a few other things like the rizla bus, same as last year, or are you planning something different?

Hi Jim,

Why in the press releases are Club 75 being billed as "FIRST UK SHOW EVER" when they are playing Chibuku in Liverpool next month.... am i missing something?

Cheers,

Club 75's management decided to change their mind after the press release I suppose. This fits neatly into the 'Leftfield DUO return to play Rockness' category.

Jim,

Will there be more choice/a better choice of food this year?

Something a bit healthier?

[Paul ™]

Argyll Food hall is returning, they are the best/healthiest options going

[rory_oh]

The most recent press release on the rockness website (from Tuesday) is still saying that it is a UK FIRST the Liverpool date was announced before this.

I'm not just saying this to have a moan (I'm nae a moaner ) - I don't really care if its their second, third or whatever - I just feel a bit mislead by this (it would have been nice to have been at their first UK set though)

I just wonder is Rockness being mislead when booking these acts or is Rockness misleading us?

There will always be a few line-up hiccups with fests cus o the huge amount of acts ... but to discover two in as many weeks (when there are still 4 months til the fest) is shocking - especially when it's the two acts that are at the top of peoples lists to see!

[stu150]

havent really thought about that yet...

theres 3 hicups tbh

"yay leftfied are playing as are boyz noize and chase and status@"

1. oh btw there headlining, forgot to mention that

2. its actually only half... sorry

3 oh while were at it, remember that thing we said about club 75, it being there first uk show... "

none of this bothers me atall tbh, still gonna be the best weekend of the summer!!!

[Grant titp]

leftfield is going to be insane
