Weekend festival round-up: Isle of Wight, Download, Rock Ness

downloadmoshing.gifThe festival season got well and truly under way at the weekend, with Download, Isle Of Wight and Rock Ness all taking place.

Download organisers are taking advantage of a successful event by making tickets for next year's festival available this Friday. This year the rock extravaganza was closed by Iron Maiden, and all manner of related news and video goodness can be found on the official site.

Isle Of Wight boasted a performance by Muse, and judging by their show I'd say they'll fill the new Wembley Stadium with ease next weekend. You can see their performance of "Starlight" after the jump. Meanwhile one of the big stories was Amy Winehouse duetting with Mick Jagger (and escaping un-impregnated, hopefully).

Rock Ness... just around the corner!

daftpunk.jpgNormally, Loch Ness is associated with huge monsters that emerge from the dark water. Well, next weekend, it'll be hosting some of the cream of the live circuit and hopefully Nessie will emerge, snapping a finger and getting down the mosh-pit!

In Inverness, on June 9th/10th, you'll be able to get down to the fried disco of Daft Punk, as well as The Charlatans, The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, Alabama 3, Manic Street Preachers, Kelis and perennial festival faves The Levellers. Click here if you want a ticket (yep, they have some left). Don't forget to take your thistle whistle...
