He certainly knows what hes talking about.

When asked about the fatboy slim announcement he said:

"It's not as if he played RockNess one year, played arena gigs, Played titp the next year then played more arena gigs. Besides without him RockNess wouldn't exist."

Perfect answer IMO.

Other info he said:

Ian Brown, at this moment, is playing mainstage.

Soulwax are playing main stage.

Club 75 headlining Annie Macs stage

Dave Clarke playing Arcadia

He's been wanting to book the Doves for years

Doves are playing main stage, before vampire weekend

Enter Shikari and Booka Shade are playing Clash (pretty certain thats what he said)

He spoke about Arcadia too. to anyone that hasn't seen it before (including me) it sounds amazing!

Howard Marks is a complete character aswell, incredibly funny and now I understand why folk were saying it is an awesome addition to the festival.

You have to go to his bar when your at the festival, he is so witty its hilarious.

One more thing, soco is replaced by strongbow.

As Jim pointed out, without FBS Rockness wouldn't exist. People seem to froget it was started as a vehicle for FBS, as he couldn't find a place in Scotland for his beach party events. Jim stepped in and suggested Dores, the rest is history. Apart from the Ironworks gig a couple of years ago, when was the last time he played a club in Scotland ?. It's too FBS credit that he comes back to Rockness. I do wish that he would play a club set, rather than the more generic sets he usually plays at festivals. Simply because it's a completely different FBS you get.

Ian Brown on the main stage - good, I can be in a tent somewhere else.

Soulwax on the main stage - about time too, that will be amazing.

I for one, am pleased about Howard Marks hosting his own bar. Top bloke who can talk the hind legs off a donkey, and be very funny doing it.

Gutted SoCo won't be there :P

well i only insist soulwax be in the tent because anyone who was at soulwaxmas (well i went to manchester and london) would vouch for the 2manydjs section of the nights being much better received and much better watched.

overall 2manydj's seem a bit more popular than soulwax i'd say, so 2manydj's in a tent vs soulwax on a main stage doesnt add up for me.

I will still enjoy it and I did enjoy that very bestival performance, outside, but think tents are better for these things.

The strongbow tent will have music too for anyone that thought it wouldn't. Sounds like Strongbow are in charge of the acts that play.

I am personally a fan of Strongbow, being a student and all :P , So I'm chuffed with it in that sense. I did enjoy the SoCo social though.

were you there last year? the soulwax tent was packed and theyve played the tents so many times, its the only sensible option to put them on the mainstage.

EXACTLY! Soulwax on the main stage will be feckin awesome, and it's well overdue imo cos they were amazing when they supported Daft Punk in the Clash Arena in 07.

Good move Jim :P
