Full T In The Park Lineup Revealed

• 23rd Feb 2012

Kasabian, Snow Patrol and Stone Roses have been announced as the headline acts for this year's T in the Park festival.

Brit award winner Emeli Sande, Amy MacDonald, Calvin Harris and Twin Atlantic are also among the line-up for this year's Balado extravaganza.

The 18th running of the annual festival will take place on the weekend of Friday 6th to Sunday 8th July 2012 at its usual home at Balado near Perth. With a capacity of 85,000 people a day, T in the Park is said to be more populated than any city centre in Scotland.

The headliners join an already stellar group of top acts including The Happy Mondays, David Guetta, Jesse J, Tinie Tempah, Florence and the Machine, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, the Vaccines, Elbow, The Wanted, Chase and Status, James Morrison, the Maccabees, The Enemy, Two Door Cinema Club, The Horrors, Maverick Sabre, Frank Turner and Miles Kane.

Geoff Ellis, festival director, said: “It's one of the strongest launches we've had and it's a very diverse line-up. It's important to have something for everyone because we're a very small country, and to sell 85,000 tickets has us on a par with the biggest festivals worldwide.

“If we were too one-dimensional we wouldn't be selling 85,000 tickets but if you're not a fan of pop you don't need to go and see any pop acts. If you're not a fan of dance music you can go and see guitar bands. I think because we have so many stages it does give us the ability to have lots of different bands playing over the weekend.”
