More Bands Added For T in the Park

• 16th May 2011

Hot on the heels of some very exciting additions to the T in the Park line-up last week, DF Concerts and founding partner Tennent’s Lager have announced yet more acts for the event.

Kassidy, City and Colour, The Saw Doctors, Clare Maguire, Metronomy, Tame Impala, Fenech-Soler, Her Majesty and the Wolves, Fight Like Apes, Grouplove, The Head and the Heart, Evaline and Wolf Gang are now confirmed to appear across the weekend of 8-10th July.

Several of the bands have played Scotland’s biggest festival before.

Glasgow boys Kassidy have been breaking the mould of traditional rock ‘n’ roll with debut album “Hope St” wowing critics and fans alike. Having previously performed on the T Break Stage, the four-piece band are no strangers to T in the Park and are welcomed back to wow the crowds once more.

The news that The Saw Doctors are returning to T in the Park for the sixth time is sure to be music to the ears of their legions of adoring fans. Loved for being a band of the people with countless songs full of catchy choruses, the fields of Balado will be bouncing when this Irish brood take to the stage.

Metronomy know exactly how to work the T in the Park crowd and are back for a third year, this time treating fans to material from their new album “The English Riviera”.

And others will be making their T In The Park debuts this summer.

British electro pop giants Fenech-Soler are being championed as the ‘ones to watch’ this year. Their single “Stop and Stare” brought a little bit of the Balaerics to the UK and the band’s latest effort “Demons” has dropped just in time for summer, bringing a dark mix of dancey beats to the pop charts.

Kimberly Wyatt, former member of multi-platinum selling girl group Pussycat Dolls has partnered up with producer Spencey Nezey for new project Her Majesty and The Wolves. Teaser track “Glaciers” made major waves online last year along with its dubstep remix that garnered exceptional underground support.

Irish outfit Fight Like Apes are famous for their mischievous high jinx during their live sets. They’ve toured with The Ting Tings, The Prodigy and Kasabian and recently released second album “The body of Christ and the legs of Tina Turner” which was nominated for the Choice Music Prize.
