The festival season has drawn to a close and I hope it was as good for you as it was for us.
So it's back to reality with a bump. The pounding beats and insane guitar riffs are but a distant memory but the good times and amazing people we have met along the way will always be with us.
With that in mind our friends at Club Photographs have now uploaded an astonishing 6200 photographs of Live at Loch Lomond onto their site.
Check it out! You might just be there!

Let the good times roll!...

We would like to give a huge thanks to everyone who joined us at the weekend for the second Live at Loch Lomond. Some 26,000 festival-goers enjoyed performances from Groove Armada, Sex Pistols, Ocean Colour Scene, Pete Doherty and the Happy Mondays, to name but a few.
The 5000 capacity dance tent was jam packed the entire weekend and Subculture and Death Disco tents were a huge hit with crowds. The Email/The Box stage featured some of the best unsigned bands around with bigger names, including King Creosote, thrilling fans with an amazing set to close the festival.
Despite the weather warnings, we only had a couple of heavy showers and the rest of the weekend was glorious and everyone soaked up the sun and played in the mud which was left over from a very rainy Thursday and Friday when we were setting up the site.
Lastly, an apology to both bands and fans for Saturdays delay. Unfortunately it was taken out of our hands by heavy rain on Thursday and Friday a...

Over the past few months we’ve been sending you some great info and teasers for this year’s most talked about festival so on the eve of the big party we thought we would let you hear what one of our fan’s has to say…
“Live at Loch Lomond? I can’t wait for it! I went last year with my girlfriend and a few friends and had a fantastic weekend! This year there is an even bigger crowd of us heading down and everyone is as buzzing as me, my phone not stopped since I got up this morning.
The line up this year looks ever better than the previous, The Sex Pistols, Pete Docherty, Ocean Colour Scene and who can forget Groove Armada? One of the highlights of last year’s festival was without any doubt the BOX Tent, so I’ll more than likely spend half my weekend in there.
Aye it was chucking it down on the Sunday last year, but what’s a festival without a little bit of mud? Even though it’s pretty wet and dull at the moment, it’s meant to be dry and even sunny over the w...

3 DAYS TO GO!!
It's all coming together down here on the Loch. The main stage is near completion and we are expecting the dance tent at some point today. The crew are absolutely buzzing with excitement! Live at Loch Lomond is going to be bigger and better than last year, of that there is no doubt!
Our man in the Met Office has predicted that the weekends weather will be sunshine all the way. This has had a knock on effect to ticket sales and there has been a last minute scramble for THE ticket of the summer.
So all the ingredients to a historical weekend on the Bonnie Bonnie Banks are here. We have the line up to quench any music lovers thirst for the big sound. We have the most beautiful venue in the UK. We have the best festival atmosphere in the UK. But most of all we have the best people!
So if you haven't already done so....get your tickets whilst you can and lets get ready to....
ROCK THE LOCH!

The count down continues and down here on the Bonnie Bonnie Banks the excitement is at fever pitch. We are currently erecting the stages and tents and the site looks magnificent. The all new Good Vibrations tent, which is sure to be a fans favourite has the Loch as a back drop and to say it looks stunning is an understatement.
This year is going to be a little special, we have even had some DJ's and Bands come down early to see the site and many have asked to come early to savour what will really be the festival event of the summer. So look out for a celebrity or two mingling with the fans.
We've taken a few snaps for you to include you in the build up and will be keeping you up to date with all the latest news, tips and weather reports every day. Current weather report from our man in the Met Office looks good so lets hope it keeps up.
Speak to you tomorrow!
The Live at Loch Lomond Team!

They may be a bit longer in the tooth these days but it's fair to say that The Sex Pistols still capture the imagination of the world with their Punk Rock antics.
The Sex Pistols swearing during an early evening live broadcast of Thames Television's Today programme is the archive's most requested TV clip.The programme, which was aired in December 1976, created a storm of publicity.
FremantleMedia Archives, which says it is "one of the world's largest clip and stills libraries" released its most popular requests to celebrate its 40th anniversary. And guess who was Number 1? The Sex Pistols!
So with less than a week to go to their history making performance on The Bonnie Bonnie Banks we couldn't be more excited.
See you Saturday! It's going to be amazing!

Prepare for wind – WKD style!
There’s a new star headlining Live at Loch Lomond this year – and it might just blow you away!
WKD will be adding its very own wind tunnel – AKA “The WKD Run”- to the line-up, offering you the chance to test yourself against the mighty forces of nature (well, technically, it’s an extremely high-powered fan – but you get the idea.) Reckon you’ve got what it takes to reach the other end unscathed? If the wind doesn’t put you off, the crowds cheering you on might!
This isn’t just a load of hot air – anyone who makes the leader board at the festival on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd August will get their hands on a WKD hairy hat and go into a draw to win a case of (yes, you guessed it) WKD.
Grab your chance to run the gauntlet – if you dare…

Celebrities Chill Out at Loch Lomond with SNO!zone
SNO!zone, Scotland’s only indoor real-snow sports centre, is dumping 40 tonnes of snow at the festival on August 2nd and 3rd to create a “real chill out zone” for our VIPs!
Performers and VIPs attending the festival will be able to relax on deckchairs on a special “snow beach” at the VIP bar or have some fun sledging on a specially built toboggan slope covered in real snow.
We always like to try something new and different at our events and nothing epitomises this like the SNO!zone area that will be on the Bonne Bonne Banks this year.
The snow beach will be something completely different and ensure a chilled out weekend in the middle of summer. We’re looking forward to seeing the likes of Pete Doherty and Johnny Rotten take to the slopes on our toboggan run!
We have no doubt that it will be one of the big talking points of the festival
SNO!zone offers skiing, snowboarding and tob...

WE URGE YOU NOT TO BUY TICKETS UNLESS THEY ARE FROM AN OFFICIAL TICKET OUTLET!
We have learned today that £90,000 worth of tickets for this year’s festival have gone missing en route from ticket outlet, Ticketmaster’s courier company Interlink Express, one of the largest and most successful in the UK.
The tickets, which comprised of 500 tickets for Saturday’s event, 500 weekend tickets left Ticketmaster’s Glasgow office and were being couriered from Glasgow to the company’s despatch centre in Manchester. When the package arrived it was damaged and the centre discovered that the tickets were missing.
Ricky Magowan, organiser, commented:
“With only a fortnight to go until this year’s Live at Loch Lomond, we are extremely upset that the tickets have gone missing. We are urging fans NOT to buy tickets unless they are from one of our official ticket outlets listed on our website. They would be wasting their money and will be turned away by se...

Celebrating over 20 years at the top, Sub Club legends Harri & Domenic will bring the unique sound of Subculture to Live at Loch Lomond on Saturday 2nd August 2008.

For Sunday 3rd August we are proud to announce that self-promoted star DOUG WALKER will be playing the Main Stage. If you’ve not heard of this guy then chances are that you’ve been in a cave for the last 8 months!
He shot to stardom in the space of one day after the simple plan of standing outside Radio 1 one fateful day in August 2007. He handed out copies of his single ‘The Mystery’ to unsuspecting staff, from the cleaners to the security staff, hoping that one of them would land on the desk of a DJ or influential figure at the station. His luck turned as breakfast show host Chris Moyles showed up for a routine shift on air, he handed him a copy of the single and thought he would never see him again. Next thing he knew, Chris had played his single live on air and the response was phenomenal. Fast forward to now and he’s recorded his new album ‘Fear Together’ in New York with Coldplay’s producer and Jeff Buckley’s mixing man, something that he would never have dreamed would ...

We are very pleased to announce more additions to the Live at Loch Lomond line up. Saturday 2nd August sees AUDIO BULLYS arriving on the Main Stage alongside the already bumper line up of Groove Armada, Alabama 3 and The Stereo MC’s.
Audio Bully’s hit the big time in 2005 with their Nancy Sinatra sampling hit ‘Shot You Down’. Blending choice cuts of house, hip-hop, punk, soul and UK garage they joined Basement Jaxx, Stanton Warriors and The Streets to lead a movement that cracked chin-stroking, head-bobbing hipsters square in the jaw. New single “Get Down’ is getting massive support from DJs the world over, including the official instigator of the weekend, Pete Tong. They are one of the few cross genre acts that appeal to all modern music fans, a perfect addition to the Main Stage!
With the Saturday line up already featuring Groove Armada, Alabama 3, The Stereo MC’s, Sasha & Digweed, Nic Fanciulli, Pete Doherty and The Dykeenies, there is something to keep ever...
