From its beginnings at Strathclyde Country Park in 1994 to what will undoubtedly be the most successful year to date, in the lush environs of Balado in 2008, T in the Park has grown in size and influence to become one of the most important and critically acclaimed music events on the international festival circuit.
Originally having attended my local festival since 1998...back in the day of Pulp and the prodigy, I have loved every minute of the festival experience. Many of the acts still continue to date and the line up for next year look amazing.
Expect a line-up of around 180 artists to play over 11 stages. The many acts confirmed so far include headliners Kings of Leon, The Killers, Blur, Snow Patrol, along with The Specials, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, The Streets, Manic Street Preachers, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Katy Perry, Razorlight, Elbow, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pendulum, Peter Doherty, and White Lies.
There are not many tickets left for this year however you can try the following outlets from 9.00am Friday 27 February.
