RockNess, the Scottish festival with the punnily appropriate name given its location right on the shores of Loch Ness, is back for another go in 2008.

Speaking of puns, this year's self-described "Nesstival" takes place June 7 and 8. Among those hoping for a Nessie sighting: Hercules and Love Affair, CSS, Fatboy Slim, Simian Mobile Disco, Roísín Murphy, Underworld, the Orb, Soulwax, Digitalism, Alan Braxe, the Crystal Method (DJ set), Felix Da Housecat, 2 Many DJs, Mylo, the Count & Sinden, Midnight Juggernauts, Editors, Late of the Pier, and Maps.

Channel 4 is partnering with RockNess to broadcast the festival across the UK, and the television station's teen drama "Skins" is both sponsoring one of the festival's stages and sending casting agents to look for new stars. Now to convince "Gossip Girl" to do the same at Sasquatch!.
