Orbital confirmed for Rock Ness

another Saturday headliner revealed

Tuesday 27th January 2009


The hugely influential electronica duo Orbital have been announced as Saturday night's headline act on the Second Stage at this year's Rock Ness festival.

Orbital
The Hartnoll brothers, who are re-forming after their split in 2004, will be celebrating 20 years of festival-rousing anthems and cinematic sounds with a headlining show on Saturday 13th June in the main arena of the Highland festival held on the banks of Loch Ness, Scotland which will now be a three day festival held on Friday 12th until Sunday 14th June 2009 have been announced.

Jim King, the festival's director said, "Orbital are legends and they are a great addition to the Rock Ness Saturday night line-up. Listening to tracks like 'Chime' and 'Belfast' in such a dramatic setting is going to be a highlight of the weekend."

One of the most influential acts in dance music history, Orbital accompany their music with expansive audio-visuals, and their trademark torch-glasses. The band who introduced an improvisational element to live electronic music formed in 1989, and enjoyed a dazzling 15-year stint before bowing out gracefully four years ago. The duo's live comeback will coincide with the 20th anniversary of their debut single 'Chime'.

Other acts confirmed for the banks of Loch Ness include Basement Jaxx, and Dizzee Rascal who will also play on the Saturday, with Biffy Clyro and The Prodigy playing on the Sunday. Rock Ness has also announced that the main stage will play host to acts on Friday evening for the first time. There will be many more than 100 acts performing.
