Next Announcements?

[blackg1000]

I agree disagree with both things you say

[Kowalski]

Yeah, I kinda regret saying they weren't bigger now. Who the fu*k am I kidding, they're massive and they are bigger than Leftfield. I've loved Leftfield since day one but against the chemicals it's no contest. No dance act really is. Who can tour worldwide every few years and have 6 albums, a greatest hits, a singles collection and another on the way under their belt. Plus they're live shows are some of the best around.

[Piratebhoy]

Now that is a proper clash of heavyweights...

DP have something mythical about them, but would have to say that musically the Chemicals are better (imho). Consistently better albums, whereas DP have some right tosh pop... two greats though.

Views? (without going mental at each other and having this thread going the same way as the TITP threads!)

Daft Punk < Leftfield < Orbital < Chemical Brothers

Orbital are my favourite dance act ever, got me into dance music the moment I heard Chime but Chemicals these days just have consistently released masterpieces that puts DP down a peg or two. Best dance act in the world just now.

So will it be a Radio One blitz from Zane Lowe or Annie Mac again or just some subtle names slipped into the RockNess flyer, every chance I get in between Uni studies Im always checking here for line up updates, but now nothing for nearly a week and half. Starting to go a bit mad, cMon the RockNess when are we going to get some new announcements?

[Rebellion(Lies)]

Any ideas who? The Chemical Brothers are coming out of hibernation with a new album, so they may play T or Rockness...

Not an act announcement but my girlfriend read that Howard Marks is gonna be serving pints at a bar in Rockness joined by Rhys Ifans. Howard Marks is a legend!!

[Iain333]

Wasnt really into Orbital, maybe a bit young...or they didnt do much when i had cash to buy music, but seen them play last year at EH1 and thought they were simply class.

Samw with me, was too young to ever see Orbital or be aware of what they were doing. Saw them at Rockness and they blew me away. One of the best live shows I've ever been to, and I expect that to stay that way for a very, very long time.

[blackg1000]

Maybe if we try hard enough then Jim King may try to get Orbital back for a second year at Rockness? Seems to be the pattern with acts for Rockness, no complaining though! They seem to be playing even more festivals this year and are headlining Glastonbury so are definetely available (playing Isle of Wight the Friday night of Rockness so Saturday or Sunday?). Insanely long shot but would be tremendous again. I just want to keep seeing them live, when they said last year they were coming out of 'retirement' and playing live again I don't think I've ever looked forward to seeing a band again, even though it was about the 9th time, and certainly wasn't disappointed.

i caught the last 15 minutes of orbital but me and my mate sensed we has missed suhin truly special. u got a very eery vibe from inside the tent. im all for them to return again this year or next. if fatboy slim can then why not orbital.

Well, when I bought this it was a lot cheaper (only 12 quid or something), but if you can find it anywhere it's worth it for the DVD alone...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Live-at-Glastonbur...0293&sr=8-2

The DVD is basically choice parts of all their appearances at Glastonbury edited together, with a few graphics and things over the top. The CD is basically the same; live recordings of them at Glastonbury.

Sound quality is a little patchy, especially the early stuff, but it's sooo not an issue when you can take in the atmosphere of their stunning live appearances!

Get hold of a copy if you can, although Amazon are charging a bit much for it at the moment. Next best thing to being there...

[tweemo freak]

true... hadn't actually realised how many there were from last year.

in comparison i suppose there could be a few more (minor) non dance acts.

friendly fires

enter shikari

dan le sac vs scroobius pip

doves

vampire weekend

btw kowalski... have u ever posted on ultimate-guitar.com??? random bt a found a guitar tab by a guy called kowalski lol

[Elbear]

Umm, they''re a dance act,aren't they .

[rexclark]

Not really. Dance element, but not a dance act.

[pothead pixie]

And still no word on new additions, over two weeks now. Hopefully someone will be in the know soon, as the speculation is driving me nuts. Although rest assured there is stuff there I am looking forward to seeing. Dance tents are so much more sociable, free and easy compared to the atmosphere of a city centre night club.

[Hebn2themix]

Creamfields gets announced on Radio1 next Friday. And with Jim being the organiser of that fest as well, hopefully whoever gets announced ends up playin Rockness as well
