Official Annoucment

[ibenji]

the latest line up added

[shezam]

Oh dear.... quite happy i've got myself a Parklife ticket now!

[themangus]

Is this it now?

Obviously there is still a Comedy line up to be announced... but musically?

No 'More acts to be announced' line on the poster.

[Kowalski]

I've thoroughly enjoyed going to the first five Rockness festivals but its time for me to move on, as I am no longer part of the demographic they are trying to attract. I don't have a problem with this at all as there are plenty of other festivals, and I sold my ticket a few weeks ago.

Have a good one guys!

Nothing huge on the lineup but wasnt expecting much more big names to be honest.

Wide range of acts though, some that I will probably catch -

Laidback Luke

Boxer Rebellion

Beardyman

Broken Records

Saint Saviour

Example

Sons & Daughters

Harvey McKay

Derricl Carter

Andy Weatherall

Funk D'Void

Plus need to check out some others, anyone fancy doing a Spotify playlist? Or similar?

Not sure who is the Arena headliners are on the Sunday yet. Hopefully get the stage splits soon

[Poleski]

I'm still confident it's going to be a good year, the only thing that’s slightly annoying me is that all the acts I want to see I've seen before:

The Chemical Brothers, Boys Noize, Fake Blood, Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco, Clouds, Magnetic Man.

Will probably try and catch a few acts I haven't seen before though:

The Japanese Popstars, Sub Focus, Katy B, DJ Shadow, Mark Ronson (DJ Set), Modeselektor, Magda, We Are Scientists.

Looking at those lists I know theres going to be a lot to keep me happy so roll on June 10th!

[Paul ™]

Aye there will be plenty to keep me busy anyway over the weekend, not to mention just the eFest campsite banter over the weekend.

For the £99 I paid I think it's worth it. Not sure if I would have stretched to £150 for it though, and definately wouldn't pay £200 for VIP or whatever for it.

Considering 3 nights camping alone can cost you around £30 for the weekend on a campsite with facilities, add on the cost of seeing say the Chems and Kasabian (£30 each) then it does seem good value.

9 weeks today till I head up for it...Bring on the sun

I was comparing the previous poster to this new one and noticed Howard Marks (Saturday) and Katy B (Sunday).. hope Howards End is still going to be there

*edit*

He is still going

Oh my Erol Alkan on the Arcadia Friday night my life has been made

[festkid]

I am buzzing for the weekend now: Chemical Bros, Magnetic Man, Two Door Cinema Club, Modeselektor, Laidback Luke, Erol Alkan, Nero, Beardyman, Jamie XX, Groove Armada, DJ Shadow, Boys Noize, Simian Mobile Disco, Annie Mac, Fake Blood, Sub Focus, Jesse Rose, Clouds... and late nights at Arcadia! I am a very happy man!

[Alpha Kenny 1]

Not the best announcement in the world but theres still plenty there that I want to see.

Erol Alkan on the Acadia Afterburner will be something else though. Hope he doesnt clash with Kasabain.

[chambo]

What day are you going?

[Jagerman]

Pretty average announcment, for me only Ewan Pearson and Sub Focus worth getting excited about. The amount of acts who played TITP last year is unreal.

[merago]

Admittedly, it's not a brilliant announcement, but I'm quite happy with the line-up as it is. Plenty of acts there that I love and plenty of acts there that are new to me, which is what festivals are all about for me.

I have a feeling there will be more to come too. For example, Carl Craig hasn't even been mentioned, but Rockness is still down on his website as an upcoming gig.

I love the idea behind the Rock n Roll Circus and I'm ~seriously~ loving the fact that Arcadia Afterburner will be going on 'til 3am. Does that mean we can expect the headliners of Arcadia not to start until later? That would mean Mr Alkan would be on after the main stage and Arena headliners have finished. Can you imagine how mental the area around Arcadia Afterburner is going to be come 1am?

[5head]

Not a brilliant announcement - but I think everyone on here built themselves up for a fall anyway. Nobody from Rockness said a 'huge' announcement with 'big name' acts was coming....we were just told more names.

Personally, I was already well happy with the line-up and I'm actually interested in a couple of the headliners for a change.

I'm even happier now FUNK D'VOID, IVAN SMAGGHE, and JAPANESE POPSTARS have been confirmed.

[gordong]

Well, the way I look at it, there's about 20 acts I want to see from the line-up. Even if I only see 10 acts, thats £10 an act which I think is pretty good value.
