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.

Global Ticket Market provides its customers with RockNess Festival Tickets at nominal rates.
