Rock Ness monster: Skins comes to Scottish festival with casting agents and Hadouken!

Channel 4 documentary Skins, a universal favourite among the DrownedinSound readership, has been given its own stage at this year’s Rock Ness festival in, like, Scotland.

The Skins Live arena is “massive”, apparently, and will feature performances from Felix Da Housecat, Hadouken! and Does It Offend Yeah?, among others.

Annie Mac and Black Ghosts are the others they’re among for now, while Razorlight, Fatboy Slim, Underworld and The Cribs will be spread across other stages at the festival which runs on the 7th-8th June.

AND, WHAT’S THIS?! Casting agents from the show will be on-site, scouting out “the hottest new talents” for the next series. Could you be the next star of Skins? Will you be showing off your acting talent at Rock Ness? Exciting times.

The Skins Live arena will be decorated in a “similar aesthetic to a Skins party”, apparently, while the whole event will be broadcast on Channel 4.

Taking place on the shores of Loch Ness, four miles south-west of Inverness, Rock Ness weekend tickets can be bought now for £100 (plus booking fee). That jumps to £115 with camping.

I really enjoyed myself at Rockness last year due to the lack of tossers, please don't ruin it for me!

Rock Ness = cunt magnet

?

nah

It was actually full of lovely people who liked to get out their skull for 3 days, yet remain nice and friendly.

oh, for fuck's sake.

what a load of bollocks.

O really?

"similar aesthetic to a Skins party"

What, a bunch of teenagers with glowsticks, off their tits on Class As, snogging each other whilst vomiting over the bands? How exactly is that different to any other festival?

I'm going for the first time this year.

I'm scared.

Jesus, that sounds awful!

"Channel 4 documentary" = lolz.

A new nadir

for Scottish festivals then. Proper baws.

That picture

= lol

^I hope this will be the case

at T in the Park.

And I'm tempted to go to this dressed in a suit and stand around with a clipboard, so people will think I'm a casting agent and act like complete twats in front of me.

Shudder

This sounds absolutely fuckin' horrible.

great stuff

with so many festivals in the UK putting on the same bands it's become increasingly difficult to elect which one's to avoid. Thank-you Rock-ness and your 11pm curfew on fun, you make my life easier.
