Rockness 2008. June 07th & 8th june 2008, Clune Farm, Dores. Inverness

Rockness is back. Bigger and better, for another year of mad mental Dance, Electro, Indie/Rock. Situated in what is possibly the most beautiful place to have a festival. Rght on the shores of Loch Ness. Nessie has made an appearence the last two years, and no doubt she will again this year.

Fatboy Slim is headlining the main stage on Saturday the 07th. Razorlight heading the main stage on Sunday 08th.

The Clash Arena is back again, as are 2MANYDJS who make a welcome return with their expanded Radiosoulwax arena.

Hit TV series Skins are to host a new arena at this year's RockNess festival which is staged this year on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June, and if you happen to be in the crowds heading for the shores of Loch Ness, four miles south-west of Inverness, Scotland then you could end up in the TV series. The Rock Ness organisers have confirmed that Skins casting agents will be there in search for new stars for the next series.

Skins will be filming an episode in the arena throughout the weekend for use in the third series of the show. Following on from their Skins Live Tour the Channel 4 show's arena line-up includes Chicago house DJ Felix Da Housecat, nu-rave stars Hadouken!, Radio 1’s Annie Mac and new stars Black Ghosts. Festival organisers have also confirmed that a deal has been struck with Channel 4 television to broadcast Rock Ness to a national UK audience.


Underworld will be there to blow everyone away. Pioneering German electro punksters DIGITALISM make their first visit to the Loch.

The inimitably cool Roisin Murphy promises to dazzle RockNess fans and joining the charismatic songstress will be a live performance from the glorious Simian Mobile Disco. Also making a very special appearance is legendary Chicago house DJ Felix Da Housecat, one who can truly claim his place amongst the dance music elite.

Go North Tent will be back again, showcasing some the best up, and coming new bands from around Scotland. This tent is always worth a visit, and gives people to see the bands of the future.

SoCo SOCIAL SETS SCENE FOR SUPER SCOTTISH SMASH-UP!!
Nessie will have more amazing music at her shores this summer as SoCo today announces its SoCo Social tent as part of our 2008 line-up!!!

SoCo Social will be presenting a host of amazing talent including homegrown deck-master and producer Mylo, hot DJs including Alan Braxe, Yoda and Eclectic Method, live acts Midnight Juggernauts and David E Sugar with many more to be announced...

SoCo Social nights have been kick starting weekends with a bang over the UK for the past year, bringing legendary DJs such as Groove Armada, Norman Jay and Steve Angello to intimate venues on Thursday and Friday nights, but with a tent at RockNess, SoCo Social will provide the soundtrack to the whole weekend to keep the crowds dancing until morning.

Pitched by the Nesstival area, the electro-pop-party-mash up tent will be decked out in nu rave meets New Orleans chic, where the citys heritage meets the UK party scene. By day the tents dancefloor is framed by neon-flocked wallpaper, a glowstick chandelier, giant decadent mirrors and areas to sip tasty SoCo drinks. By evening, the late-night tent will be the beacon for the party crowd with projection screens for live VJ sets, neon nigns and a LED light trail leading out into the surroundings of the Loch.

As SoCo Social has been taught how to party by one of the greatest musical cities on earth - New Orleans - expect a liberal sprinkling of Mardi Gras masks and beads as well as dressing up and make-up booths for a look to match the electric atmosphere.
