T In The Park

Hi all. Earlier this week, pop gobshite Lily Allen confirmed she’s definitely playing at Glastonbury next year so, there’s that.

Also, the Arctic Monkeys are the first act announced for 2014’s T In The Park, tickets to which go on sale tomorrow.

Geoff Ellis, T’s Festival Director, says: “We’re thrilled to announce Arctic Monkeys as our first headliners for T In The Park 2014. After this year’s fantastic 20th year celebrations, we asked our audience who they’d like to see at next year’s festival and Arctic Monkeys came top of the poll, so we’re really pleased to be able to confirm them for T In The Park. When they take to the stage in Glasgow this week they’ll prove exactly why they’re one of the greatest live acts around, and I’m sure we can look forward to another phenomenal set at T In The Park. We have many more fantastic acts in store which we’ll announce next year, and can’t wait to see you all again in July”.

Meanwhile George Kyle, Head of Sponsorship at Tennent’s Lager, woke up, yawned, and added: “This year’s T In The Park was one of the best ever, and I’m sure we have another wonderful weekend in store next July – Arctic Monkeys will put on a phenomenal show. As founding partner, Tennent’s have been the T in T In The Park since the very beginning and we’re exceptionally proud to still be a part of this incredible festival as it enters into its third decade”.
