RockNess 2012 launches today 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 bash beside 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.
The achievements of Mumford & Sons since the release of debut album ‘Sigh No More’ has been a success story rarely matched in recent times. Now this band of brothers is preparing to unveil album number two and hit their spiritual homes on the road once again. RockNess has today announced Mumford & Sons as their first 2012 headliners.
In addition to the Mumford & Sons, Toronto-born behemoth Deadmau5 (aka Joel Thomas Zimmerman) has garnered acclaim from both critics and fans alike and continues his ascent as one of the very biggest names in electronic music. Famed for his brand of progressive dance, the Grammy-nominated, Billboard-topping superstar DJ and producer is seriously hot property and his RockNess headline assault will be a major festival highlight of 2012.
As one of the very best live bands around, Biffy Clyro are at the top of their game. Now with studio album six well under way, Biffy Clyro are heading to RockNess to unleash their big sound in the band’s first ever Scottish festival headline slot.
Speaking about the announcement, Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil, Ben Johnston and James Johnston said: 'We are thrilled to be returning to RockNess in June, and this time we'll be headlining. The location is amazing and the enthusiastic crowd made for a memorable experience in 2009, so we're counting down the days until our return in 2012.''
In addition to the 2012's headliners, one of the UK’s most critically lauded new artist Ed Sheeran will be performing, as well as Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay, aka Justice, will be bringing pummelling levels of intensity to the festival. Further acts confirmed for 2012's festival include Metronomy, Noah And The Whale, Wretch32, Fresh/Live, Azealia Banks, Beardyman, Death In Vegas, Chic, Etienne De Crecy, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Busy P, Gesaffelstein, Riton, The Cuban Brothers, Polymath, Count Clockwork.
