Rockness

The Chemical Brothers, Kasabian, Paolo Nutini, The Cribs, Frightened Rabbit, Magnetic Man, Example, Groove Armada. Remember when rock festivals would designate a day for the heavy stuff? Well this lakeside dance festival – which comes with a 'monster weekend' tagline to ensure we're reminded that Nessie lurks beneath the water – has decided to do away with that this year and just scatter the guitar-toting indie rock bands across the weekend, with headlining performances from Leicester's popular, swaggering good-time rockers Kasabian, pin-up pop boy Nutini and a no-doubt explosive set from the dynamic CB duo, with their outsize party jams and cheeky sampling.
