Scotland's festival fever is burning up...PENDULUM are revealed as the latest big name headliner bound for RockNess.
The Aussie maestros whose live sets enrapture rockers and ravers alike are set to make their momentous debut assault on Dores this June on the Friday night in the mighty Clash Arena, and one that coincides with the release of their third album 'Immersion'. Hinting on what to expect from the new material, frontman Rob Swire revealed on NME.com the band has "gone quite electronic again", cryptically adding that there were collaborations with "major electronic artists" including one he thought it would be "impossible" to hook up with. Speaking about their RockNess appearance - another Scottish festival exclusive - PENDULUM said "We can't wait to hit Scotland again. Everyone knows the Scottish crowd is one of the best. Here we f*cking go!". The summer beckons!
Joining PENDULUM is the 'Baron of Techno' DAVE CLARKE, an electro genius whose prolific output knows no boundaries and will be appreciated in heaps by the party loving RockNess crowd.
This latest news comes hot on the heels of the reveal that VAMPIRE WEEKEND will support THE STROKES on the Sunday night, completing a double whammy of New York cool.
The most judicious dance and rock fans are well catered for this year with DOVES, IAN BROWN, HADOUKEN!, ENTER SHIKARI and FRIENDLY FIRES joining a dazzling proposition of the finest international electronic talent including THE BLOODY BEETROOTS, VITALIC, AEROPLANE, PLAN B, BOOKASHADE, THE JAPANESE POPSTARS, DAN LE SAC VS SCROOBIUS PIP, CHASE & STATUS, BOYS NOIZE, THE DUB PISTOLS and RockNess favourites THE CUBAN BROTHERS.
Five years since FATBOY SLIM staged the first RockNess, and following a sabbatical in 2009, he returns to headline this June. Joining him in a truly unmissable coup, and another brilliant Scottish festival exclusive, is LEFTFIELD - the first live performance in a decade.
