The 2010 RockNess festival is scheduled to take place in Dores, Scotland from 11-13 June 2010. It is the fifth event to take place. The festival is to be headlined by Kasabian, Muse and Eminem. Tickets for the event sold out on 26 February 2010.

Tickets
Similar to previous years, early-bird tickets were released within two days of the conclusion of the 2009 event, on 14 July 2009. Tickets remained on sale until the following Sunday. The line-up was billed to include 180 artists across eleven stages. A further 'Christmas sale' took place from 4 December 2009, with tickets made available at 2009 festival ticket prices. Full-price tickets went on sale on 26 February 2010. The festival's campsite area is set to expand by 5,000, despite no increase in overall capacity. The campsite area is also scheduled to open from the Thursday prior to the event, to reduce traffic congestion travelling towards the festival.

In an interview with the Perthshire Advertiser on 8 September 2009, Matt Bellamy of Muse spoke of playing the festival in 2010, saying "I’m sure we’ll be trying to get something, maybe T in the Park or maybe something else".
