After ten years of keeping quiet, Leftfield will return to the stage with a tremendous live act at this summer’s RockNess festival. The event, which has been referred to as the ‘Most Beautiful Festival in the World,’ will be held on the shores of iconic Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands for three days in June 2010.
As one of the most influential electronic bands of all time, Leftfield delved into a new style of music that no one had ever touched on before. The fusion of epic soundscapes with intoxicating rhythms in their album, Leftism, was what truly marked them in dance music history. The Face magazine described it as “… the best dance album ever.” Even now, bands such as The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and Underworld are still inspired to use the pounding beats of Leftfield although none of it compares.
Jim King, Festival Director and huge fan of Leftfield shared his excitement by saying: “We’ve been trying to get Leftfield to do some shows for years and now its actually going to happen.” After last year’s great success, RockNess 2010 takes place on Friday 11 June to Sunday 13 June which is sure to bring an outstanding line up of acts to the stage for another year.
