Loads of festivals news today actually. Next up, line up info for this year's T In The Park was announced yesterday. As expected, the Scottish festival will start on the Friday night this year, though only those with camping tickets will be allowed on site for the Friday line up (and the extension is still licence dependent). Headliners this year are The Killers, Arctic Monkeys and Snow Patrol - the latter of which first played the fest as an unsigned band back in 1995. Other bands on the 174 long line up list included Lily Allen, The Coral, Scissor Sisters, Paolo Nutini and the Fratellis.
Confirming the Friday night start, T In The Park Director Geoff Ellis told reporters: "We have always said that it's the incredible loyalty of the audience that makes T in the Park so special. To show our appreciation we wanted to give something back to them, and create an even better experience than the last, so it is with great pleasure that this year we're announcing a third day".
T In The Park will run from 6-8 Jul. A third of the tickets have already been sold (you'll remember early bird tix went on sale right after the 2006 festival), with the rest going on sale this weekend. Expect a T In The Park sold out story Monday.
