smutchie Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Jeezo this forum annoys me sometime. Florence would be a fantastic act to bring to Rockness. Although it is looking unlikely. Whoever even suggested that Paolo last year would've been a better addition should hang their head in shame! Each to their own I suppose though...

smutchie Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Sorry maybe should have worded that better. It bugs me that people always have something to complain about on here. Don't get me wrong - I have in the past too!! Ive been following this forum for years and just sometimes you want people to just look at the pros Anyhow, back to thread topic, an announcement would be great! Someone big / someone unknown / pop artist / dj / band / cheeky girls etc etc. Anything!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenfire Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Rock Ness on Facebook: We know you’re eagerly awaiting 2012 lineup news – and believe us, we’re dying to tell you..but we’re not quite there yet. What we can say is check back here next week for some festive treats that should hopefully ease the pain a little :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid_A Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I hope Bestival is too small for her, Rob could get a better headliner than that. Although, if The Cure headlined Bestival, is Florence much bigger than them? Anyways, I hope she isn't headlining festivals. Especially the big ones.

eFestivals Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Florence bigger than The Cure? Are you kidding? You might be. The only way to test it would be for both to announce a sizeable tour of the same venues, and see who sells out first. My money would be on Florence, and by quite a way! The Cure play very few gigs - and it's that fact alone which makes the few that they do do sell very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe- Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Florence bigger than The Cure? Are you kidding? Although now you mention it, even though it won't happen, I'd take The Cure on the Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfire Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Finally, A date: It's the final day of our 12 Days of Christmas competition...and it's time for the biggie. At long last we can reveal why any news about the line up has been hush hush! As the final challenge we want you to tell us which 6 acts you think are headlining RockNess 2012. That's right: we want the 3 acts you think will be playing the main stage and the 3 that will play the Goldenvoice Arena. The first person to correctly guess ALL SIX ACTS will win VIP tickets for them and three friends plus food vouchers, and drink tokens courtesy of our friends at Drambuie. You can make as many guesses as you like and we're giving you plenty of time - the winner will be revealed when we announce our headliners on THURSDAY 26TH JANUARY. Good luck and Merry Christmas from all the team at RockNess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyelo Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 A little birdy has told me the delay was because one of the headliners was going to be Swedish House Mafia but they pulled out, one of those 'a friend of a friend who works for Rockness' jobs...make of that what you will.

theampersanddevil Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Whats confusing me is that in the past that wouldn't have held everything up Bench. There has been a change in style of announcements if all the headliners are released at the one time in January. Could speculate endlessly about why.

chickenfire Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Does anyone else really like the announcement strategy of just announcing all the big names at once? I much prefer it to the drip fed announcements that other festivals do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibenji Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Had heard of lineup being something like Biffy Friday, Fat Boy Slim or SHM and Arctic Monkeys closing. With a lineup that included Tinie Tempah, The Vaccines, Friendly Fires, Skrillex (The Cell) and Kutski and Judge Jules representing Radio 1!

cambyman Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Jim's latest @jimloudsound: Putting finishing touches 4 @RockNessFest announcement. "at last!" I hear u cry. Sorry for wait but we can only go when the bands agree. I would like to think the bands had been sorted out long ago, or is it a full announcement we're getting?

Paul ™ Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 He means when the acts agree they can announce, ie contractual reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleski Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Judging by the Ultra line up surely Kraftwerk must be in with a shout somewhere? Played Bestival in 2009. Going by the Ultra line up obvious ones that stand out are Justice and perhaps New Order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
