This multi award winning festival, staged against the jaw dropping background of iconic Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, takes place next month on 7th -9th June and promises to be another outstanding weekend featuring the hottest names in electronic, rock, indie and comedy.

Accorded the NME Awards ‘Best Small Festival’ for two consecutive years as well as the UK Festival Awards ‘Line Up of the Year’, the barnstorming Highland fling has hosted a roll call of behemoths over the years including Daft Punk, Biffy Clyro, Mumford & Sons, Kasabian,The Chemical Brothers and Paolo Nutini. This year’s diverse bill includes Plan B, Basement Jaxx, Example, Fatboy Slim, The Vaccines, Madness, Ellie Goulding, Madeon, Ben Howard and Lianne La Havas.

A host of eclectic arenas add a unique and much loved signature to RockNess including a comedy proposition previously headlined by funnymen superstars Tim Minchin and Kevin Bridges, and this summer starring Dylan Moran and Jim Jefferies.

Get set for a massive Loch Ness landing as electronic powerhouses Soma Records and Sub Club, two of the world’s most prolific exponents of dance, assume control of the Arcadia Afterburner extravaganza and Sub Club Soundsystem respectively.

For one weekend only, underground goes overground as the mighty Sub Club Soundsystem presents back to back legends Kerri Chandler, Carl Craig and Henrik Schwarz alongside the likes of Julio Bashmore, Jackmaster, Harri & Domenic and Sensu. Over on the Arcadia Afterburner it’ll be a guaranteed foot-to-the-floor lock in as our friends at Soma Records present a monster bill including Len Faki, Joris Voorn, Pan-Pot, Josh Wink, Rolando and Nic Fanciulli.

The hottest breakthrough talent is well represented too including Jessie Ware, London Grammar, The Correspondents, Public Service Broadcasting and Zebra Katz, plus local Highland acts including The Boy Who Trapped The Sun, Jemma Tweedie and Toby Michaels Rolling Damned.

Further enhancing the RockNess experience is an exceptional array of quality food and drink offerings, a luxury VIP area with all the home-from-home mod cons for the most discerning glamper, and the pièce de résistance…the undisputed best view of any festival in the world!

Europe
As UK citizens and members of the European Union, we have the right to live and work in any European Economic Area (EEA) country without a work permit. This means that applying for a job in France could be just as simple as applying for one here – although you may have to take your French into consideration.

That being said, there are plenty of opportunities for English-speakers in the likes of France, Germany and Spain, including Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). With TEFL courses available here in Scotland, which are easily completed in anything from 20 to 140 hours, it’s a great thing to have on your CV to get your career abroad off to a flying start.

America
American visas, otherwise known as Green Cards, are not easy to come by. A combination of super-tight security, a high population and a ridiculous number of people all trying to live the American Dream means that unless you’re a student or have an employee-sponsored visa, you’re probably in for a long wait.

However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a summer in the US, working at Camp America. With a huge variety of camps on offer there’s bound to be one that takes your fancy. Although there are fees involved in Camp America, including paying for your temporary visa, you will be paid for your time and all accommodation and meals are provided.

Australia
A popular destination with many Scots seeking a sunnier climate and better quality of life, securing an Australian working visa is the first step towards your new life Down Under – unless, of course, you’ve been lucky enough to be offered a job already. In this case your employer will generally sponsor your visa, making it quicker and easier for you to gain access to the country on a long-term or permanent basis.

If you have to arrange your own, there are various options available. A working holiday visa generally lasts for one year, but if you manage to secure permanent employment during this time, you can apply to extend it.

Alternatively, Tourism Australia have just re-launched their “Best Jobs In The World” competition – head over to the Australian Working Holiday Facebook page to find out how you could earn $100,000 working as an outback adventurer, a tastemaker, chief funster, a lifestyle photojournalist for Time Out Melbourne, a wildlife caretaker or a park ranger.

Canada
Much like Australia, it’s fairly easy to secure a temporary visa to work in Canada, and it’s a popular choice for ski season. You can apply directly to the Canadian High Commission for your visa, or you may want to consider applying through BUNAC’s Work Canada programme.

Additionally, you will need to be able to prove that you have access to $2500 of savings, as an “emergency fund” at the time of your application.

Its status as the world’s best party island has been challenged many a time, but Ibiza has managed to hold on to its hedonist crown year after year. Far from the trashy, ladette-filled destination it was in the nineties, the White Isle is now more famous for attracting world-class DJs like David Guetta and Steve Aoki – not to mention a ton of celebrity guests. In 2012, everyone from Kate Moss to Paris Hilton was spotted soaking up the sun, sea and Ciroc.

With three main tourist regions, namely San Antonio, Playa d’en Bossa and Ibiza Town, there are plenty of accommodation options available. If you’ve got cash to splash and fancy doing the celebrity circuit, Ushuaia is the place to be. This stunning hotel is set on the island’s longest beach, Playa d’en Bossa, with amazing views and in close proximity to the famous Bora Bora beach party – not that you’ll want to leave the hotel! Minimalist white décor is contrasted with decadent furnishings, the pool is surrounded by luxury loungers, and there’s a stage for those all-important guest performers.

An entry-level room for two at Ushuaia will set you back an absolute minimum of £129 per night, but during peak season expect to pay nearer £300. Suites available include the Fashion Victim and Anything Can Happen – because here, with your own private Jacuzzi on the balcony and a circular bed, literally anything is possible.

If you don’t fancy shelling out several grand for the pleasure of Ushuaia, you’ll be pleased to know that you can still buy a day pass to access their pool parties, and to see resident DJs David Guetta and Avicii do their thing. Prices from €30.

Just along the white sand from Ushuaia lie the popular Jet Apartments, which are heavily populated with young Brits, and where the staff tend to turn a blind eye to any after-hours shenanigans. Not the place to stay if you fancy a good night’s sleep but, for a party holiday, they’re pretty perfect. Prices from £180 for a one-bedroom apartment in May, jumping to around £1000 per week in peak season – you may find it cheaper to get a group together and chip in for a larger apartment.

Amongst the perks of staying in Playa is that superclub Space is practically on your doorstep – a rarity in Ibiza, where most of the best clubs are a taxi or bus ride away. Note that, depending on the night, superclubs like Space, Pacha and Amnesia will charge up to €80 for entry. It may be worth pre-booking online to get the best discounts on advance tickets.

Additionally, it’s worth pre-drinking in your hotel if you’re a big boozer, as a vodka and diet coke will set you back somewhere in the region of €30. It makes far more sense to buy a bottle of each at the local shop for €10 and drink before you head out.

Younger Ibiza-dwellers might find the hectic West End strip of San Antonio more appealing, where cheap drink is plentiful, and the music is more chart than dance. Ibiza Rocks hotel lies just 300m from the strip, and this summer’s line-up includes Jake Bugg and Rizzle Kicks, to name but two. Handily, the hotel have now opened a neighbouring hostel, which still includes access to gigs and the main hotel, but from just £23pppn.

In San Antonio you’ll find one of the island’s most famous restaurants, Café Mambo. Here, tourists and locals alike congregate for evening drinks, and the best view of the sunset on the island. Waterfront clubs Eden and Es Paradis are also worth a visit, where you’re almost guaranteed to spot Katie Price and the TOWIE lot gyrating on the dancefloor.

Ibiza Town provides a far more laidback vibe, with plenty of beautiful boutiques to explore, and lovely fairy-lit restaurants acting as an oasis of calm against the madness. Love & Lies is a cute clothing store where every piece is a one-off, while high street favourites Pull & Bear and Accessorize are also on offer, all in close proximity to the Castle of Ibiza. Take a walk to the top and soak in the view – it really is a sight to behold.

Despite not being the easiest place to do on a budget, working in Ibiza can be a great way to earn while you spend, and can get you some great discounts on club tickets. Most clubs will employ bar staff, promoters, ticket sellers, dancers and security, with varying levels of skill required, and varying levels of pay. A bar job will ensure you have a steady hourly rate, but you’ll probably have to work nights, and will be tied in to certain hours. Ticket sellers, on the other hand, generally work on the beach during the day. Sounds like a dream job, right? It probably would be if they didn’t work on a commission-only basis. Despite generous rates of around €10 per ticket sold, there’s a lot of competition to sell, so some days you’ll make absolutely nothing for eight hours work.

Dancing and security jobs generally pay better, but require specific skills and experience, and are highly competitive. One way to ensure you make enough money to live off of and have your accommodation provided is to apply for a British-owned company like Thomas Cook’s Club 18-30, Thomson’s 2wentys or Ibiza Rocks, where the recruitment process takes place here and you’ll know exactly what you’re letting yourself in for before you go.

Whichever way you choose to enjoy Ibiza, rest assured that you’ll have the summer of a lifetime; just don’t be surprised if your friends don’t believe your stories. Sometimes it really does seem too good to be true.
