So I know with the shabby way this festival is ran it's almost impossible too predict, But when and what will the next announcement be? I'd be happy with hearing the day splits, surely they'll be coming soon. Its only like 5 weeks away FFS....

BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB / SPARROW AND THE WORKSHOP / AFGHAN RAIDERS / D/R/U/G/S / FUNERAL SUITS

With their third album slated for release in June, Bombay Bicycle Club will be making the journey to Dores to wow the RockNess crowd on Saturday 11th June with a mix of their eagerly anticipated brand new material and classic tracks from their first two critically acclaimed albums. Built around Jack Steadman’s uniquely compelling vocals, Bombay Bicycle Club’s live momentum has made them one of the UKs brightest up and coming bands.

Folk-rock trio Sparrow and the Workshop will also be on hand on the Sunday at RockNess to showcase their ethereal and electric musical brew. Comprising an American, a Welshman and a Scotsman, the threesome distils pop, rock and traditional folk that spans the globe into a truly haunting and beautiful live spectacle.

San Franciscan alt-electro three-piece Afghan Raiders are confirmed to join the party, also playing on the Sunday. Colliding dance vibes with classic punk rock riffs and pop melodies Afghan Raiders can effortlessly get a crowd jumping with their high octane live show. Manchester based ambient techno purveyor Callum Wright AKA D/R/U/G/S is set to bring his lush DIY electronica to the party. One of the most buzzed about bands of the last six months, D/R/U/G/S’ MPC fuelled excursions into widescreen dance music of all flavours has made him a top tip for those in the know.

Finally, Ireland’s hotly tipped Funeral Suits will be demonstrating just why they’ve been enjoying the support of some of alternative music’s biggest players on Saturday. Expansive and heavy without being overpowering the trio’s debut album has been produced by the legendary Stephen Street and their debut single is already enjoying support from Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, marking them out as ones not to miss.

RockNess Organiser Jim King said “We’re really pleased to announce that Bombay Bicycle Club will be performing at RockNess. They fit perfectly into the Saturday Goldenvoice arena and are really great live band to catch at the festival.”

Zane Lowe playing funeral suits. Someone gotta tell that boy when you value everything, you value nothing. Hardly surprising he will play anything he's told to and if someones shelled out a loada cash for stephen street to produce them, then they are getting plugged big style.

Gave the single 3 listens, meh.

not really to my taste... a couple more announcements of this size still to come surely. they havent (still) broken down into days and stages and they're definitely not all completely full altho its not too far off.

Sunday is looking great already i think and Friday is a short day so you cant see that much, but saturday just needs a bit more beef.

Overall I think its a good lineup but for me it doesn't have that "stand out" act that I can't wait to see. I like alot of the acts but of the whole lineup there is no one I really want to see that I haven't seen before. Like leftfield, orbital, even fatboy slim or Carl Cox (who I hadn't seen until RockNess 2006)

on a general note, one thing i am really hyped for is SMD live. i think its gonna be a brilliant spectacle with both the tracks and the light show. Most will have seen SMD live before but they will probably presenting a reasonably new version of the live show which is promising. not the biggest act on the lineup but definitely one of the best.
