Does anybody know if Rock Ness was televised last year or if it has been televised previously?

ROCK NESS organisers today confirmed dance supremos UNDERWORLD as the latest massive act set to Rock the Loch this summer.

 

Joining what is already a monster line up, this Rock Ness Scottish festival exclusive, is sure to generate a rapturous response from fans.

 

The band, currently in the middle of a major world tour as Underworld Live, is enjoying a critically acclaimed renaissance with their awesome latest album Oblivion with Bells. This release, the fifth studio album from the electronic masters marks a stunning return to form.

 

Many are hailing Oblivion with Bells as Underworld's finest hour in fifteen years, their most voracious since Dubnobasswithmyheadman swept across and redefined the face of dance music. Playing to euphoric audiences across Europe with founding members Karl Hyde and Rick Price at the helm, the new material and visually creative live shows signals an exciting and totally fresh evolution from one of dance music's most enduring acts.

 

UNDERWORLD will join many of the biggest names in rock, electronic and dance at the third Rock Ness festival this summer. They join an eclectic, genre-defying star line up which includes FATBOY SLIM, RAZORLIGHT, THE VIEW, EDITORS, CSS, ROISIN MURPHY, DIGITALISM, THE CRIBS, HADOUKEN!, THE CUBAN BROTHERS and SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO.

 

Rock Ness favourites 2MANYDJS make a welcome return with their expanded increased capacity Radiosoulwax arena and DAVID GUETTA will be flying in to host his legendary F**K ME I'M FAMOUS Ibiza club night in an exclusive arena. 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.

 

Organisers have confirmed a string of top acts have still to be announced very soon, including further headline acts.

 

Once again, Rock Ness will continue to showcase the finest unsigned breakthrough music talent across the weekend via the GoNORTH Xposure stage. The stars of today playing with the stars of tomorrow! Adding to the festival fun will be the return of the popular Nesstival arena brought especially to The Highlands by the award-winning Bestival which will include the fashion-fabulous dressing up tent, whacko Lost in Sound experience, Bollywood Cocktail Bar plus loads of other fun surprises. And with a host of other new on-site areas including Black Isle Pub and The Whisky Bar the Rock Ness weekend hospitality offering promises to be a suitably stylish affair.

 

Rock Ness, now firmly established as one of the most hotly anticipated summer music fixtures, is being staged this year on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June. It will take place on the shores of iconic Loch Ness, outside the village of Dores, four miles south-west of Inverness.

Wow what a line up. I've see both Razorlight and Fatboy Slim :D

 

I'd love to go to Rock Ness but not sure if I can travel up there :lol:

 

I may see nessie.

:lol: I know what you mean

 

If I could get the time off i'd try and get tickets because the line-up looks amazing! Razorlight, Editors, the Cribs, Hadouken :dance:

Any ideas yet if this is on TV? Looks like a really good line-up, and it'd be a shame if there wasn't any coverage of it :/

Hmm, no word yet but like you say it would be a shame if it wasn't covered (and if it was we'd actually have something to discuss :kink: )

Anyone see any of rockness then? The band posted this video on their MySpace blog:

Good video, apparently Andy Burrows did a small acoustic set for 7 people in a fridge truck :unsure: :rofl:

Razorlight Drummer Plays 'Sub-Zero' Gig For Seven People

 

Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows played to just seven people during a secret show at the Rock Ness festival last weekend.

 

Burrows played fans songs from his debut solo album 'The Colour Of My Dreams', which was released last month.

 

The gig took place in the back of a beer van, with Burrows and fans defying temperatures of 2c to play the fifteen minute show.

Apparently they also showcased their new track 'Frequency', but alas there are no videos

 

Now, interestingly it was the second time they've played it but according to NME.com, it was different to the version they played previously and it still hasnt been confirmed that it'll be called 'Frequency' :o
