Andrew Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Should have booked through http://www.thebooth.co.uk/, cheaper booking fees. Its a cracking festival though. I've got my tickets! I might see you there How much do you spend during the three days on booze and food? Planning on bringing a shit load of drink and bringing my own food to keep costs down though. And are they strict on selling underagers? Sorry for all the questions. Quote
minijc Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Will be going to rockness I think. Quote

Planning on bringing a shit load of drink and bringing my own food to keep costs down though. And are they strict on selling underagers? Sorry for all the questions. I don't know if they are strict on underagers, but I have to say the food on offer at the festival is superb - really good quality stuff in the Argyle Food tent. Also got lots of decent drink, including real ale. You won't get in to the arena from the campsite with much booze on you. I'd probably spend £100-£150 in three days mostly on booze, and some food in the arena. Quote
minijc Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 What is the VIP camping all about kow? Also has anyother bands been announced yet? The headliners soo far are great, much better than those of TITP other than Blur their hadliners aint got shit on rockness. Quote

The headliners soo far are great, much better than those of TITP other than Blur their hadliners aint got shit on rockness. VIP camping is a waste of money IMHO. You get your own tent already set up and fenced off area to camp in, with your own toilets but its not worth it. Last year Rockness had the cleanest bogs I've seen at a festival, so your own private toilets didn't really make much difference. I suggest you camp with the masses unless you have money to burn. Confirmed artists: Friday 12th June The Flaming Lips Boom Monk Ben The Revenge Saturday 13th June Basement Jaxx Orbital Dizzee Rascal Ali Herron Wave Machines Sunday 14th June The Prodigy Placebo Biffy Clyro The Wombats Erol Alkan Rob da Bank Others confirmed Super Furry Animals Pete Tong David Guetta Zane Lowe DJ Yoda Crookers Brodinski Quote
minijc Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Cheers kow, VIP is only £21 more, I'll see what my mates say, only ever been to one day of TITP and the toilets were rotten, wouldn't mind camping, remember you saying that it is a cracking festival so will probably get something sorted this week. Not sure andrew, just never camped before so the posher the better. Quote
Andrew Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Why would you want to do the VIP camping? Full of posh cunts. Quote

When'd the line-up get so good? I was pretty damn happy when the first 4 were announced, but Flaming Lips and Placebo!! Wtf?! I'm so happy, even more so about 15 seconds ago when I realised I could infact go Why would you want to do the VIP camping? Full of posh cunts. Fit?! You quite clearly stated earlier in this very thread you had no idea about the VIP area, yet you have an opinion on it? For the record, VIP area = lazy campers, Posh cunts = hotel nearby. I hope I don't meet you there. Quote

boboisared Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Would have been going to T this year again but lads holiday is booked instead. Makes no difference really. Me and my mates wrecked on beaches and in clubs listening to shit music, opposed to me and my mates wrecked in tents and a big field listening to shit music. Quote
The Doricle Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I have to say that with the flaming lips, super furries, orbital and basement jaxx rockness is looking pretty good. Placebo, i tend to view as more of an actual medicine than a placebo. They remind me of a suppository- not much fun to experience and generally pretty shitty (IMO)- but then i just can't fucking stand brian molko's whiny voice and reckon he's an arsehole of the highest order.

Andrew Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Was half taking the piss dave but in whatever event you go to the cheaper tickets you usually get the better atmosphere. Quote

Legendline83 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 Scottish festival = nedfest. Exactly.... go to Glastonbury, drive to Belgium on the monday or tuesday, go to Rock Wercher(which has an already impressive line up), then you have another 3-4 days to drive to Serbia for EXIT. 18 days of festival hedonism. Job done. Quote
