Music Festival News

Rockness is a dance music festival held on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland, Its been running for a few years now and is the idea of Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim) who started it up after the was pulled on his Big Beach Boutique events in Brighton.

2008 was a rainy event but i spoke to a few people at other festivals that went there andnthey said it was a brilliant festival to go to. As with all festivals they always strive to be better every year and i have no doubt Rockness will be follwing the same rules.

Tickets for the event are already on sale at £55 for day ticket or £45 for the Friday, and £105 for 2 days. If you want a to be there for the whole 3 days then its £130 for a 3 day non camping ticket. If you want to camp over while you are there then it will cost you £122 for 2 days (Sat + Sun)  or £139 for 3 day camping which works out at it costing £9 to camp there if you stay the 3 days!
