This year was the T in the park music festivals 12 year and by far the most succesful to date. The festival took place on the weekend of 9th - 10th July although a lot of campers (including myself) arrived on Friday 8th to get our tents pitched and start the weekend. On the Friday night the Beat 106 (local radio station) bus is there, Jam packed full of people dancing to good dance music and generally having fun.
The festival kicks off around midday on Saturday with a few little known bands appearing on various stages around the arena, the stages include the Main stage, the NME stage, the Slam tent for dance fans, King Tut’s wah wah Hut for up and coming bands, plus many more. As is usual with
festivals the toilets don’t stay immaculate for long but the facilities are as good as any I’ve seen at any festival. There is an abundance of stalls which sell anything from food & drink to band merchandise and herbal drugs for the more adventureous.
There is also some funfair rides and a ‘big wheel’ which allows a great panoramic view over the full arena, its only up there that you get the reality of how many people are in attendance.
But its definitely a ride for the nicer weather, its quite breezy up there.
Saturdays line up included Joss Stone, Audioslave, Embrace, The Killers, and The Foo fighters.
All of these bands performed amazingly in the surprisingly warm 28 degree heat. Sundays line up consisted of James Brown, Queens of the Stone ...
