Following the inaugural sonic assault by this mighty Glasgow institution on the Arcadia Afterburner at last year’s festival, organisers have today announced a brand new arena for RockNess 2011 - The Sub Club Sound System.

Its reputation as one of greatest clubs on the planet is without question. Its music policy for over twenty years has consistently set the barometer against which exceptional good taste can be measured. Its atmosphere – best exemplified with the finest beats slamming a heaving sweaty dancefloor into glorious hedonistic euphoria – defies superlatives.  The SUB CLUB, in full throttle, is unrivalled.

For three days only, underground goes overground. SUB CLUB SOUND SYSTEM will see our friends bring their totally unique and much loved ‘Subbie’ vibe to its new home-from-home in Dores…along with a line up guaranteed to deliver 100% dancefloor devastation all weekend!

Appearing in the Sub Club arena over the weekend will be a varied mish mash of big name acts and eager young upstarts, including Modeselektor, Fake Blood, Jamie XX, Matthew Dear, Optimo, Raresh, Clouds, Jackmaster and loads more. 

RockNess Festival director Jim King said: “I first went to the Sub Club back in 1990. It was a pilgrimage to see what was already a leading light in the underground club scene and the fact that I see this as one of the most exciting announcements we will make this year demonstrates just how good these guys are at what they do. Hopefully it also shows our dedication to having the very best in underground music at RockNess. Their line up is phenomenal and it’s a guaranteed lock out all day and all night.”
