UK Festival: T in the Park
T in the Park is held at Balado, Kinross in Scotland from 10th to 12th July 2009. The headliners this year are; Kings of Leon, The Killers, Blur and Snow Patrol. Well known supporting acts through the weekend are; Razorlight, Elbow, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, The Specials, James, Nine Inch Nails, Nick Cave, Bloc Party, Paolo Nutini, The Script, Pet Shop Boys, Glasvegas, Lily Allen, The View, Ting Tings and many more…
Since it opened at Strathclyde Country Park in 1994, 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.
Each year, T continues to outdo itself, boasting arguably the finest line-ups of all the festivals. With over 180 artists performing across 11 stages over 3 days, T in the Park consistently attracts the finest international talent.
When my brother and I went in 2005, the line up was probably the best than any festival we’d ever been to. The main stage on the Saturday was as follows; Foo Fighters, Keane, The Killers, Embrace and Audioslave, who played Rage against the machine and Soundgarden hits. On the Sunday it was Green Day, Travis, Queens of the Stone Age, Snoop Dogg, Razorlight and Athlete, with the Prodigy on the R1/NME Stage.
The festival was hot all weekend and the music was amazing, with Green Day, The Killers, QOTSA and Audioslave the highlights for me. I uploaded many videos on Youtube that I took with my mobile phone and the comments brought back good memories for a lot of people. Scotland was a long way to travel for a festival, but I’d certainly recommend it for the quality of the acts and the atmosphere.
