The Flaming Lips, the critically-acclaimed, multi-Grammy-winning kings of psychedelia, have been announced as the Friday main stage headline act for this summer's RockNess festival.
 
Delighted organisers have confirmed that the seminal US act, known for their legendary weird and wonderful live shows, sweeping soundscapes and impassioned fan base, will launch the Highland festival in June, the inaugural year of it extending to three days.
The main stage line-up also features The Prodigy, Biffy Clyro, Basement Jaxx. Dizzee Rascal and Orbital.
 
The musical and visual boundaries continue to be pushed with the announcement of the addition of Super Furry Animals. Never ceasing to amaze and delight, the spacey pop genius of this Welsh ensemble promises to enhance the RockNess vibe to great effect. Indie rock idols Placebo have also been added to the eclectic line-up.
 
In an announcement sure to delight dance fans, the first wave of top electronic acts is revealed. First up, David Guetta. With a raft of anthems to his credit, countless gigs in the most glamorous of locations across the globe and of course his famed Pacha Ibizan residency, Guetta's RockNess billing is big news for his legions of followers. Joining Guetta is electronic powerhouse Erol Alkan. The much lauded DJ maestro enjoys an evangelical following and his appearance at RockNess is a major coup. Further boosting the first class dance offer will be Radio 1's forceful champions Pete Tong and Zane Lowe, DJ Yoda, and the painfully hip Crookers and Brodinski.
 
Jaunty indie pop-rock and cracking good time anthems will be delivered courtesy of The Wombats on Sunday. This young trio is fast carving out a reputation as one of the UK's most exciting breakthrough acts, and with a string of highly infectious hits already under their belt, come June they can't possibly fail to ignite RockNess.
