Mike Grieve, director of Sub Club, said, "Everyone at the Sub Club is really excited to be part of RockNess 2009. The spectacular backdrop and the brilliant atmosphere make this unique festival something Scotland can be really proud of and we want to bring the true flavour of the Sub Club to the Highlands with the cream of Glasgow's DJ and electronic music talent on hand to really Rock the Ness. We look forward to a fantastic weekend."
