rexclark Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm not suggesting this is realistic - but the Flaming Lips and Weezer are currently on a joint headlining tour of North America, where they share the stage and take turns playing a song. I'd definitely buy a ticket if that show was headlining one of the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jord Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Not going to lie, i'd be pretty gutted if I had either/both Arcade Fire and Florence headlining. Florence would be decent 1 or 2 under the headliner on any day but she'd be another Paolo Nutini (A few hits and good songs but not really headliner material). Arcade Fire are the same. I like their music but be it Friday/Saturday/Sunday, is this really the kind of music you want played headlining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jord Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Westlife/Take That are two massive bands in the world, sell millions of records. Wouldn't want them at a festival though haha . Arcade Fire just dont really strike me as a good festival band despite them being a good band generally. I'd love to go see them at a gig, even 1 or 2 below at a festival, but not headlining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexclark Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Good enough to headline Coachella but not quite big enough to headline Rockness? Trust me, I watched them hewadline at Leeds last year and it was mindblowing. I can assure you that Arcade fire are a headline act and will be for many years to come.

RMcCole Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 By the looks of it I'm in the minority of people who aren't all that fussed with Arcade Fire. Can take or leave them to be honest.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexclark Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Sold out already mate, tickets on ebay at £70 a pair. Shocking. I've got mine in the bag and really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trench-foot Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I would love to see Arcade Fire at Rockness!!! I think they will play T instead tho as will Daft Punk if they tour. Headliners i'd love that are possible to get: Moby, Massive Attack or Underworld, Primal Scream Headliners that it will probably be 3 of : Swedish House Mafia, Guetta, Deadmau5, Biffy Clyro, Pendulum, Chase & Status I would take Deadmau5 but would be wary of the crowd he might attract, him and SHM would attract loads of ned types. Lower down the pecking order would also like to have: Crystal Method, Simian (back), Soulwax, Vitalic, Alex Gaudino, Chicane, Manics and Sasha & Digweed paining up would be immense.

pettle Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would love... Daft Punk (obviously). Justice, Etienne De Crecy, Deadmau5 would be alright... Soulwax, Sebastian Leger, Chemical Brothers (which will hopefully/most likely appear), Underworld, Orbital and maybe Lützenkirchen. But... not getting my hopes up kind of hope there is more that kind of music than the likes of biffy clyro though... or how sad, olly murs (surely not). and the less neds the better.

chickenfire Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I finally took the plunge and bought one of the £99 tickets (which yes are still on sale). This will be my first Rock Ness and I'm really looking forward to it because the line up has always interested me but I've just never taken the plunge. I hope Daft Punk play but will take most of the ideas brought up in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipper Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Moby would be amazing. I think Fatboy will probably be back, unfortunately. Lower down the order, I'd love to see Digitalism back. Tremendous in '08 and a new album out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
