First Announcement?

[Chiefski]

http://www.strathspe...12-25012012.htm

Biffy Clyro, Noah and the Whale, Ed Sheeran, Justice...

hmm, might not have meant to have got out yet, any mention of it is getting taken off FB...

seriously? Thats a huge disappointment. Only 2 headliners there though...

What website actually is that?

Page been taken down now! Could be right I suppose....but expecting a lot more acts to be announced tomorrow, agree with Poleski there could only be 2 headliners there

[Elbear]

Was it just those four leaked?

I had heard Ed Sheeran was a lock on the other week so it doesn't surprise me he's playing but surely there will be 6, maybe more, announced tonight/tomorrow?

Think it may have been something that shouldnt have got out, was from a newspaper website from up north, think its only part of what the whole announcement will be though. Dont think they liked the 'hint' pictures on their fb wall either...

[Elbear]

The "hint" pictures have built up everyone I know expecting the Foo Fighters, so anything for them will be an anti-climax. Saying that, I've still got hope for another couple of decent acts announced in addition to those four.

[Gothenburg83]

The hint pictures are made up by a bullshitter that has been making up fake RockNess accounts on FB

[Poleski]

biffy will do a good job as headliner though for sure.

Inverness Courier just tweeted this:

"We will be unveiling the lineup for RockNess 2012 from midnight at http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk. Some big names - don't miss!"

Not excited about the prospect of Noah and the Whale and Ed Sheeran playing; hopefully there is something decent on at the same time as them...

[adustlandfairytale]

Why is Ed Sheeran so popular? He is honest to god pure gash.

[Chiefski]

Not huge on Sheeran but suprised they got him, one of those ones that T would have been right in for I would have thought. Happy with the other three acts to be honest.

The hint pictures are a load of shite..

The local papers will have the announcement which is obviously embargoed till tomorrow but looks like one leaked a few acts..

Am sure there will be a lot more being announced when is officially released

[Eh Ah Ken]

if thats the only four names they are announcing tonight i think many people are go to be very dissapointed.

[eFestivals]

it's more than 4.

[Poleski]

it's more than 4.

[eFestivals]

Over 10?

It's a number somewhere between 5 and a million.

I'm gonna post those names on FB and see if anyone bites...

[rexclark]

Ed Sheeran's pish but it would be a massive coup for the fest to get him.

[Gothenburg83]

nice to see the website has fallen back into its old ways! not posted anything since 07/11/2011! Would have thought they would have had something up about the announcement tomorrow, fair enough the facebook is kept up to date but I would expect the website to be just as up to date

Some guy on the Rockness Facebook just posted this:

BIFFY CLYRO

DEADMAU5

ED SHEERAN

JUSTICE

PLUS ALSO CONFIRMED IN FIRST LINE UP ANNOUNCEMENT

[Gothenburg83]

Just seen that, RN just deleted it now

[lloyd2991]

WRETCH 32 YESSSSSSSSSSS forget the rest of the line up I'm sorted!

[ionicmoose]

Not bad I guess, but really hope Ed Sheeran isn't headlining, and if he is then really hoping Justice are on at the same time as him and not Biffy.

Unless he's one of the second stage headliners, same time as Deadmau5, and there's still one more headliner to be announced?

[gordong]

Hmm, I remember just before last years announcement, there was a similiar 'leak' in the style of that that turned out to be 100% bullshit.
