bar leftfeild there is nobody original and unexpected. poor attempt so far in my eyes. rockness is becoming more and more every year just annie mac, soulwax and friends playing in a feild. too predictable, neeeed to get better acts if rockness wants to compete with other festivals. just me or????

I think alot of people need to stop moaning for a small festival like ours we have done really well. ok we have got fatboy slim back wasnt expecting it but for alot of people who havnt seen him hes guna be a highlight of the summer and as for leftfeild and the stokes i have 2 say no more. only that it would of cost alot of money to get them too :P . And give it time theres still loads to get annoucend jim knows what hes doin :P

With those sort of wants I think you should go to TITP.

RockNess doesn't want anyone like that and tbh, I feel the same. Felix might have a shot, but the other two are dire.

As for the line up, I love it!

I didn't expect The Strokes, Vitalic (cos I thought TITP would steal him), Enter Shikari and so on!

one problem i feel is that the taste of Rocknessers is generally Electronic music, and we have had some of the best in the business!! So when you look at the talent we have had over the last 4 years, we have been properly spoiled.

in the last 10 years, there has been a lack of consistently good dance acts that can join the groups of Chemicals, DP, Underworld, Prodigy etc... so we are now in a bit of a period where the good acts are not quite superstars... if you get what i mean. Even the newer world clas acts liek Basement Jaxx and Soulwax/2Mnay Dj's have been up to Loch Ness.

There is very few headline electro acts that we havent had yet. Off the top of my napper i would think Faithless, Justice (of which we have half of this year) and maybe Kraftwerk would be superstar status, that could be headliners.

We have had nearly every properly good and well appreciated electro act, so there is going to be years where people will have to take a chance and go see acts they wouldnt normally think would be good.

(hopefully someone gets what im trying to say!!! ha ha!!)

Come the summer we will know more about who we want to see, and will be dancing with smiley faces!!!

I think it's a decent line-up so far. First time at Rockness so I'm not hit by any repeat acts that some people aren't happy with. I've never even see Fat Boy Slim so I'll probably have a look.

No huge stand outs for me bar The Strokes, but I'm happy with Enter Shikari, Leftfield, Ian Brown, Friendly Fires, Doves, and Dub Pistols. Still plenty more to come too.
