QUESTION FROM PAUL-

Agree with the Arcadia, as you know you have seen it in full effect at Glastonbury and the smaller rig at Bestival last year. These guys know what they are doing - are you allowing them to programme the stage too?

One more thing sorry, regarding getting something of value for buying early without any line up etc..

Perhaps a reward of some kind, closer camping is fine on a huge site but Rockness is small so the walks are all minimal anyway.

What would tempt me to buy early would be an incentive such as a free programme, a couple of drink vouchers or even a CD of some sorts... am sure that would tempt a lot more people rather than a different bit of a field

*And are Leftfield a UK exclusive or Scottish exclusive?

QUESTION FROM _RACHELBON-

why don't you provide some reclycling bins at the festival?

maybe you could release the times before the festival so that people don't have to pay, then you can still sell the lanyards and programmes at the festival so people still have the option of buying one if they want.

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?

QUESTION FROM THEDEMENTEDPOPPET-

Jim, If you are out there???

A couple of things:

Are the security guards still going to be told to confiscate food and unopened soft drinks?

Is there going to be any effort to monitor children (under 18's) getting into the site without adult supervision?

Ps Keep up the good work with signing up the acts, but I am always a bit impatient can you share with us when we should hear the next announcement

Hi Jim.

How much coverage will BBC be doing this year as their website didn't really have much last year. Other than the 2008 Channel 4 Footage which still didn't show much, we're yet to get a good load of video footage to remind us of the fond memories haha. I think RockNess looks really special and sites such as 15000 people going mad to "Jump Around" in 2008 at the main stage need to be shown to the world!

Hey Jim,

Loving the line-up, just wondering if we can expect similar cautions to stop headliners clashing shown last year on the Sunday. I'm getting very worried about the possibility of Leftfield and 2manydj's clashing.

Also, whats the deal with Front Row Camping? Was planning on camping efest this year for something new, but it appears the majority have bought Front Row tickets. Since I am a Student Ambassador I was told I'd be getting a ticket to the festival so didn't think to buy one, it's only now I realise the major problem with them.

Cheers,

Michael

Couple more -

Jim,

Why are you using the same headliner every 2 years?

This is a TITP tactic, I thought you were trying to avoid that?

Also -

What is the story with Leftfield regarding Paul Daley not playing? Was that known at time of booking, and if so why was it not announced as several commens from official sources refered to the 'duo' returning

Jim,

Are you going to be booking Thomas Gandey (Cagedbaby) this year ?. As you will know he's been there every year since the start. He's been a great ambassador for RN over the years. Anyone who was at his set in the SoCo tent last year on the Friday night will remember how brillant it was. So please let's have this RN stalwart back again this year.
