Rockness Description
‘It left us with a flavour of what has fast become one of the UK's most musically open-minded and well programmed mainstream festivals. ’ The Independent
‘‘To label Rockness anything less than a triumph would be blasphemy. ’ Virtual Festivals
After winning LINE UP OF THE YEAR at the UK Festival Awards and ‘BEST SMALL FESTIVAL’ in the 2011 NME awards, RockNess has firmly established itself as one of the UKs best loved festivals. Set in front of the stunning Loch and described by the NME as ‘the UK’s most eye-wateringly gorgeous festival site’, previous headliners have included Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, The Strokes, Kasabian, The Chemical Brothers and Paolo Nutini just to name a few.

Reviews
Following recent speculations, we regretfully confirm that RockNess will not take place in 2015.
Despite our best efforts to secure a top 3 day line up and the best possible experience for fans, we’ve been left in a position that makes delivering the event we want impossible this year.
Our focus remains to return with a bigger and better RockNess in the future!
We’d like to thank you for your support over the last 8 years. Due to the addition of a number of events alongside the World Cup and the Commonwealth Games we’ve decided to take a year off. We’re using this break to make the event bigger and better than ever in 2015 so have an amazing summer and see you back at the Loch next year!
Some rarely seen footage of Steve Aoki landing at Inverness airport last June.
What a show these two put on. For the weekenders out there, which was your favourite night of this year's RockNess?
A hazy flashback to Above & Beyond. What an incredible set!
Head in the clouds. The view from the big wheel at RockNess.
The Temper Trap enjoying a meditative moment by the Loch.
Relive RockNess. Skream & Benga talk Sub Club, Magnetic Man & loyal Scottish fans.
Steve Aoki & Example backstage at RockNess this summer. They hinted at a collaboration. Anyone heard anything?
A beautiful view over RockNess. Thanks to Michael McFarlane for the photo.
Not a sensible way to open beers. Who's interested in being sensible though?
Nutricious and delicious. Caked in the face during a DJ set. What's the most unusual thing you've seen at a gig?
