RockNess - RockNess Festival 2008
RockNess 2008 festival took place on 7 and 8 June. Fatboy Slim returned to Loch Ness to headline the Saturday on the mainstage. The other main headliners were Razorlight, The View, Underworld, 2manydjs and Annie Mac.
Due to the death the previous year, tighter restrictions were put in place for car park access at the 2008 event. Festival goers were told that they would not be permitted to return to their cars during the weekend. Due to public pressure this was later relaxed to permit multiple trips for unloading camping equipment, but alcohol would only be permitted on the first entry. This amendment was not well published however leading to much confusion over the position on returning to cars. In addition the VIP car park was not well signposted leading many VIP ticket holders to park in the main car park.
In the 2008 festival a teenager was found unconscious in front of the main stage. He was taken to hospital by air ambulance but later died.

RockNess 2007 - Daft Punk Popularity
Daft Punk were much more popular than expected in RockNess Festival 2007 and the 10,000 person Clash tent was soon filled, the sides were removed by organisers to allow a reported 30,000 people to see the set. In addition the Daft Punk set was initially held up by nearly an hour due to lighting problems. Daft Punk responded to this by playing an uncharacteristic 10 minute encore, as found on the Alive 2007 album.
The festival management were criticised for their decision to place Daft Punk in the 10,000 capacity Clash Arena instead of the mainstage. The festival was Daft Punks first Scottish show in over 10 years which made the set a "must see" for many of the 35,000 festival goers.
