From the 12th to the 14th of June, the glorious backdrop of the banks of Loch Ness are host to one of the UK’s most exuberant music festivals: Rockness.

The festival with one of the most picturesque surroundings in the UK seems to be getting bigger and bigger with it’s sites firmly set on the big boys of the UK festival circuit.

Radio Magnetic will be there, and we recommend you go too. To help set the scene, we’ve put together this preview programme with a selection of tunes by some of the acts we’re most looking forward to seeing including Dizzee Rascal, Toddla T, The Flaming Lips, Soma’s Octogen, Frightened Rabbit, DJ Mehdi, Crookers, Super Furry Animals and Orbital, here with one of our all time favourite sunny festival anthems, the Girl with the Sun in her Head.

Full lineup and info on the festival can be viewed at rockness.co.uk and to get you tickets go to rockness.co.uk/buy-tickets.
