RockNess 2012 launches today (Thursday 27th January) with a gargantuan roar as the first acts of the multi award winning Scottish festival are announced.

Topping off an incredible twelve months for the NME Awards 2011 ‘Best Small Festival’ Winner, the three day knees up beside world famous Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands brings together the hottest names in rock, electro and indie, and 2012 is set to be the most awesome yet.

Expect a full scale shindig on board THE ROCKNESS EXPRESS with top music, surprise guests, the best of Scottish food, cocktails, games and goody bags. What’s more, RockNess Expressers will get priority access on site before anyone else arrives AND a private party! If that isn’t enough, the unbeatable price of £225 is sure to impress. For this, revellers will get a VIP weekend ticket with camping PLUS travel from any of these UK destinations (only £16 more than a VIP ticket on its own), and be boosting their green credentials while having heaps of fun at the same time. All aboard!

RockNess 2012 takes place 8-10 June, 2012 in the village of Dores, close to Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. 

The festival won the NME AWARDS 2011 ‘BEST SMALL FESTIVAL’ and ‘LINE UP OF THE YEAR’ at the UK FESTIVAL AWARDS 2010.

The RockNess Express is supported by The Scottish Government and EventScotland as part of the Year of Creative Scotland. Aged 18 and over.
