Kowalski Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Rockness this weekend. Boost! ...as long as it stops raining before then. Anyone know how thorough they are with their searches at the gate? i.e. how can a get some booze in with me?? Forecast for Inverness this weekend looks really good. Are you camping? You can take as much booze as you can carry into the campsite, but you'll have difficulty getting any into the arena (whether you are camping or not). Quote

Thank feck they have relaxed the "one trip from the carpark" rule. What crazy mofo thought that'd be a good idea!? Will maybe try taping a bag of wine around my waist or something! Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 You're not allowed to go back to your car until you leave though, so I'm not sure if that means one trip or not. Quote
Kowalski Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 You're not allowed to go back to your car until you leave though, so I'm not sure if that means one trip or not. They've relaxed that, you can go back to your car all day Friday, and until lunchtime on Saturday. (see news page on Rockness website) Think their licence conditions this year has been affected by the boy that died in the car park last year. Quote
ptkdon Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Looking forward to this weekend, if I get off the rig on time (due home today but doubt I'll even get off tomorrow) - Got Neil Diamond on Thursday as a warm up for rockness too. Quote
Kowalski Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Some Rockness site photos taken during the week, to get folk in the mood Quote
hopeisimportant Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Where can I find some sort of timetable for Rockness? Are these usually available before hand like TITP ones seem to be or do you just have to get one there?? Quote

Are these usually available before hand like TITP ones seem to be or do you just have to get one there?? Probably won't appear before the event but I'm keeping an eye out. You might have to cough up for a timetable to put round your neck (£6 last year). Quote

Still stuck offshore so missing Neil Diamond now. Better get home before Friday or I'll nae be happy. Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 MFR said 20 degrees on Saturday, 24 on Sunday. (Although may be some light showers) Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Lots of folk heading to Rock Ness judging by the increased traffic when I was out in the car earlier. Better not be raining Sunday. Quote
Kowalski Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Rockness was brilliant, and the weather was fantastic. I saw heaps of bands. Stand outs for me were Digitalism, The Orb, Soulwax, Does It Offend You Yeah? and CSS. Pete and the Pirates were good. Its a cracking hassle-free festival, probably the best in Scotland. (miles better than T in the Park for location, atmosphere, Ned count, drink and food options). Location: CSS: The Orb: Real Ale Bar: Quote
minijc Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Were Mystery jets playing thsi one mate? if so did you see em and what is your thoughts? CSS are magic byraway. Quote
Kowalski Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Were Mystery jets playing thsi one mate? if so did you see em and what is your thoughts? They were playing but clashed with somebody else I wanted to see (Digitalism). I don't think they are my cup of tea after all! Quote

hopeisimportant Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Cracking weekend. Weather couldn't of been better which obviously made a huge difference. Was looking like a bit of a lobster yesterday though! The highlights for me were The Dykeenies and Does It Offend You Yeah? DIOYY? wouldn't usually be my cup of tea but went in to see them whilst a few mates just gouched on the grass and they were superb. Even doing a dump in the toilets was an enjoyable experience. Great festival. Quote

hopeisimportant Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Belladrum Festival... http://www.tartanheartfestival.co.uk/music.asp Anyone ever been? Sounds like it's a pretty cool festival and think I might try and persuade a few mates to go. Line-up looks pretty good Idlewild, Cage the Elephant, Sergeant & The Holloways Quote

Sounds like it's a pretty cool festival and think I might try and persuade a few mates to go. Line-up looks pretty good Idlewild, Cage the Elephant, Sergeant & The Holloways I've been, its a great wee festival with an excellent and very friendly atmosphere. I'm not going this year as I think its a disgrace that Scouting for Girls are headlining but there's still a few decent acts on. Quote
tlg1903 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 I've been, its a great wee festival with an excellent and very friendly atmosphere. I'm not going this year as I think its a disgrace that Scouting for Girls are headlining but there's still a few decent acts on. Belladrum is more about the atmosphere than the bands. To be honest the only act thats playing that i want to see is col war kids, the rest looked pretty average. Going to go to loopalu instead this year, heard a rumour that the furries might be headling which would actually make me rather aroused. Rock ness was the tits though, best weather i've ever had for a festival and saw some brilliant acts. probably the stand out was the crystal method and hadouken. Did go see css and underworld but pulled a 6ft blonde and was somewhat distracted so couldnt really tell you what they were like Quote

tlg1903 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 "Rockness was magic, I pulled a wee Scottish lad" Whats the pic? work computers wont let me see it Quote
