Line Up Announcment at 4pm

[pothead pixie]

The line up for Life festival just came out, when that happens at the end of May perhaps there will be some spillage to other festivals in a few weeks.

[Fizzy2734]

Because people were duped by the cheap prices and blind faith that the festival they once loved would be as good as it was 4 years ago.

Now that the line-up is announced, the fact it's garbage coupled with the fact that the £99 tickets are no more, sales will definitely dry up. All the blind faith fans have bought theirs.

As I said I expect % sales compared to tickets available to be worst ever.

Feel free to come back with some cold hard facts to prove me wrong.

If this festival continues to be run down the way it has been heading in the last few years it will disappear within 5 years.

I hope that doesn't happen, but the folk that run things must try harder.

So what would you do then?

[skinzo]

They only secured the site at the end of last year so I'd say selling tickets and announcing dates straight after last years festival would have been very irrisponsible so that kinda puts that idea to bed

Announce the date of the festival immediately after the previous festival has ended, not 6 months later.

Put early bird tickets on sale as soon as the previous festival has ended.

Increase ticket prices to put on some bigger names compared to the pop dross that has been announced so far.

Hire a PR company.

Speculate to accumulate.

Deary me Craig, you do love a good moan on here

Just back from seeing TDCC...they were fantastic so its a same titp have got them again...however Bastille supporting was quality, wouldn't mind him making an appearance at ness, especially with his growing popularity.

I would love Bastille to play. Can't stop listening to them at the moment.

Think we'll get many names outside the ones mentioned on the previous leaked poster this week?

Would really like Foals there, new album is sounding great

I think it's a strong set of acts that are popular, albeit some are not to my taste. My only gripe was they should have launched some DJ's at the same time, but there will be reasons why they couldn't.

There is still over 100 acts to be announced, I think you are a little premature in dismissing the line up tbh. Overall it will be strong throughout the days.

Yeah £150 all in is still cheap for the UK but as it stands, you really are getting what you pay for. Creamfields tickets are currently cheaper than Rockness and the quality of line up there is guaranteed to be amazing. Same with Bestival, the line up is unbelievable. Why is Rockness's so weak? I know they are bigger so I wouldn't expect as many acts as they have but why doesn't Rockness have some?

[KeithDelBasso]

Chances of getting any more of the lineup today or tomorrow? Was there not mentioned about more of the lineup next week after the initial one?

So with Parklife festival in Manchester falling on the same weekend as RN, would it be correct to assume they will share some acts?

Those announced for Parklife already would fit in to the RN electronic style of acts:

Hot Natured

Hudson Mohawke

Heidi

Everything Everything

David Rodigan

Netsky

RockNess just posted on FB that another announcement is coming tomorrow.

[TheHiddenPassenger]

Totally agree with what has been said here. I'd like to have seen some more dance/DJ's announced at launch, but we'll just have to wait for a bit. Soma have announced on Twitter that they are definitely coming with Afterburner for example. Patience is a virtue..

[Fizzy2734]

No inside knowledge as to what time no?
