JIM KING Q&A - Questions from 3rd March onwards

[Jim King]

Jim,

Yet again the website is slow with information being updated. Last year you promised it would be kept up to date, yet there is still no sign of the latest announcement on the line up page.

This is where people go to see what has been announced, and if the latest acts ain't there then people might be put off buying tickets yet.

Can you get the day/stage splits put on here?

Hi Paul

It should be up to date and so i appreciate you letting me know its not. Rosie was off sick and we announced over the bank holiday which might have caused a bit of a delay but i've sent her your post so she can sort out.

regards

jim

hi jim,

just wondering if you read any of the other threads on this forum or do you just come on and answer the questions?

there's a lot more negativity towards the festival this year than there has been in previous years, with people complaining that the line up isn't as good and getting fed up waiting for the announcements - what do you think of all this?

[Jim King]

Jim,

A friend of mine is arriving at Inverness at 11:30pm on the Friday night as he's travelling up on the train after work. Assuming he manages to get to the festival site okay soon after that will he be able to get into the campsite okay at that time of night? Would he still need a full weekend camping ticket or would a 2 day camping one be okay at that time, given that he'll have missed the Friday? Thanks.

Jim,

I see Bloody Beetroots are now playing as a Death Crew 77 live set but would there be any scope at all to have them do a DJ set at some other point throughout the day too? A few acts played more than one set last year and I know a lot of people would love to see a BBs DJ set too, they're going to be up at the festival anyway?

[Paul ™]

Ahhh sorry missed that one

Hi Jim, Line ups looking good although I think it would look better with myself on it! Just wondering if there are any dj competitions this year? Failing that if your stuck for a dj I'm your man. How about a wee Jim'll fix it? I won a competition to play at EXIT festival last year and I would love to play in the highlands since I'm from there. I've played International festivals but none at home. Lots of love, TheHogg.

Hi Jim,

Not so much a question as a request. Mando Diao have a gap in their fesitval calendar between the 4th & 18th June. Very popular band on the continent just now, not really broke out over here like they should have. Try & book them from Rockness. Pretty please

Cheers,

GRT

What is it that Kevin Bridges will be doing? His own hour set or a few jokes in between bands?

[Guy Rope Tripper]

Hi Guy

thanks for the feedback on Kevin Bridges. we have about 2 hours of comedy a day in the Howards End Pub on top of Kevin's performance. Kevin will do a special set in one of the arenas.

Will the Rizla bus be back?

When will all the sponsors be announced?

[pothead pixie]

Hi Jim I just want to say, what a superb line up, one question though will there be a gap or time lapse between Aphex Twins set and Leftfields, would love to catch them both if poss, otherwise I dont know what to do, two of my favorites on at the same time.

[Fizzy2734]

Why dont you offer open mic spots in the comedy tent?

[Paul ™]

Jim,

Can you confirm if any of these arenas are appearing this year?

Rizla Bus

Carling Amnesty

Bollywood

Go North

If not, what do we have in their place, apart from Howards End and Strongbow areas?

[FannyBaws]

Jim,

Any news on Derrick May & Mark Knight? They both appear to have been removed from the line-up, will they be added to the unannounced Arcadia acts on Sunday or are they no longer appearing? If they're no longer appearing, any idea of replacements for them?

[keyranaway90]

Will the ceilidh be returning at some point during the weekend it was amazing last year!

Hi Jim,

Can you confirm whether or not Vitalic's performance will be the 'V Mirror show' or will it just be him DJ'ing? ( I'm not too fussed either way cos he'll still play 'La Rock', but i'm just interested to know ).

Also, just wanna say well done to you and your team for how the festival's shaping up this year, i'm well impressed. None of the headliners interest me much, but there's plenty amazing other acts and i reckon the Arcadia Afterburner is gonna be pretty special.

All the best, Marc.

[zlatan07]

what time of day will the comedy acts be on at roughly? will they be on during the day or later on at night i.e providing an alternative to the headliners? or are the times still to be decided?
