Rock Ness '10

The three-day long Rock Ness offers an eclectic selection of bands in a beautiful location on the banks of Loch Ness near Inverness, in Scotland which is submitting a bid to become a World Heritage Site. Now in its fifth year the festival returns in 2010 from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th June.

Line-up

Fatboy Slim, Leftfield, and The Strokes are headlining with Pendulum, Vampire Weekend, Doves, Ian Brown, Booka Shade, Dave Clarke, The Bloody Beetroots, Vitalic, Aeroplane, Plan B, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, The Cuban Brothers, Dub Pistols, The Japanese Popstars, Hadouken!, 2manydjs, Soulwax, Friendly Fires, Chase & Status, Boys Noize, and many more.

Time change

Due to unforeseen circumstances Soulwax and 2manydjs will be swapping set times at the festival. 2manydjs will now play the main stage on Saturday June 12th and Soulwax will play in the Radio Soulwax Arena on Sunday June 13th. If any one wishes to exchange their Saturday ticket for a Sunday ticket (or vice versa) then they will be able to do so at the Box Office.
