Updated rumours

efestivals have taken Paolo Nutini down from tbc to SR, Kasabian are still SR and Underworld have been added as a SR.

Not too fussed either way about Kasabian. Saw them last year at TITP and they were very disappointing so I hope there will be a decent alternative in the Clash tent if they are announced.

Also, surely the Swedish House Mafia gig at the Barrowlands in May means they won't be doing RockNess?

Rock Werchter announce Chemical Brothers a few weeks after Rockness so that could put them back in the frame to play.

Guess we will find out soon enough

On the other side of things Rock Werchter is only a week before T, so they could play that too, though would imagine Rockness it the more favoured location for them.

I seen Paulo Nutini this year at Oxegen, he was pretty good and got a good buzz going with the audience. He was on before Faithless on the mainstage (Eminem closing on Sunday night), that puts him third from the top for an 80,000 capacity festival, so he very well could headline a mid-sized festival like RockNess. Personally I would prefer some good electronica dance acts myself for the Friday and Saturday, but for Sunday afternoon he would be the business.

He walked right past me in Cruise in Glasgow on Saturday afternoon, should of asked him!

Not rewally interested in Paulo Nuttini, if I wanted to hear a drunk from Paisley who can barely sing I'd just go to Paisley town Square on a Saturday night.

Aye! Its getting me all excited!!

dont understand why they dont announce them all on the same day? even if it was all on friday? strange one

[Paul ™]

No idea mate, can be down to other festivals announcing, press releases, bands embargoes, contracts, etc

Least we are getting something soon.. 6 1/2 months before the festival remember

[pancake70]

Sorry if this has been said but just noticed underworld are a strong rumour posssible clash arena headliner again?
