RockNess Music Festival in London
The RockNess festival is located all the way in Scotland but the musical event attracts people from all across the United Kingdom with its strong line-ups. The RockNess festival is famous for its mix of Indie Rock and Electronic music and has developed quite a following in the six years since its inception, besides winning several awards. RockNess also has two key factors which make it one of a kind. The first is that the event is referred to by many as “mist beautiful music festival” because of its lush setting in the Scottish highlands. The second prominent point is that RockNess may be the only festival in the entire world that has its own resident monster. Since the RockNess festival takes place on the shores of Loch Ness lake, many believe the mythical Loch Ness monster to be an integral part of the allure.
