T in The Park 2015

[Alpha Kenny 1]

Actually never even either of those

[Rose-Colored Boy]

can't see it drawing a big crowd that sort of headliner!

Yeah you can understand why people are underwhelmed after Biffy/Arctics/Calvin last year.

[Paulk2904]

I like a few of their songs but I wouldn't really say I was a fan and probably won't go see them if there's a decent alternative.

Having said that it's very refreshing to see T go completly left field from the type of headliner you would expect them to go for.

Just hope Pete can keep his shit together and doesn't pull out again.

It may be a generational thing (I'm 18) but I've never even heard of Libertines, any chance of someone telling me a few of their songs to look up?

Can assure you its not a generation thing (I'm also 18)

[justanothername]

that was a massive shock, looks like its prodigy/florence for the other two then

I thought it wasn't that surprising at all

The amount of people moaning about the Libertines makes me quite angry

People will always moan about festival announcement regardless of who is announced

Strange how it differs from person to person. I'm 19 and I'd say they're one of the most popular bands with people my age. Guess it also depends on what type of people you associate with, really.

[Chiefski]

Feel quite old for having folk on here not knowing who The Libertines are, whether it good or bad reasons, not sure if they are serious mind. It'll be much like The Stone Roses headline spot, questionable live, both with one and a half decent albums, but folk will go for that bit of nostalgia

Im irish as well maybe they werent as big over here or something?

[CAMF111]

I don't know two many of their songs, but I think it's a good choice on T's part. Not chasing to got with a spur of the moment Calvin Harris/Mumford/Rhianna act that the kids will enjoy, and pick an act more likely to be enjoyed by T veterans. Also, I'm 19 and definitely have heard of them. I feel sorry for the two posters above.

Exactly how I feel, I remember I first started getting into them when I was 13 and they were announced for reading the year after and I really wanted to go but couldn't convince anyone to come

so I ended up going in 2011 and enjoyed Muse lol I did a willecdote

[Mezhyp1]

Absolutely brilliant, really looking forward to seeing them at T, seen them in the barrowlands and at Reading but really looking forward to this one, should keep the idiots looking for hard bass and soft drugs away

[hunte]

are T in the park still doing day tickets this year?

Really? I'm 18 and they're really popular and lots of people I know like them. You should try out. Might be your new favourite band

On a completely different note, I listened to R1 for a wee while after the announcement and really liked this girl Courtney Barnett they played. Nice voice and nice songs. Hope she pops up at T somewhere.

It happens every year and for lots of festivals but I still get that sense of "bloody hell" all the time. Still people are entitled to their opinions but my opinion will be that they're wrong and The Libertines will be great!

I did similar in 2011 tbh. Wanted to go for Muse and The Strokes, but my friend who wanted to go wasn't allowed, so I just went on the separate days and met my brother's group there.

[Mezhyp1]

This is what I was talking about the aspect of hopelessness attached with the T crowd that really gets to me, the libertines is as good a headliner there has been in years

[porty81]

Not a massive Libertines fan but will probably take a look and see how they sound on the day. Quite surprised by them being a headliner but now even more intrigued to see who else is coming to T!

[Smally]

Not been on here in years just come on after seeing treding subjects on twitter, what a belting announcment. Twitter is hilarious, my fav so far is "I can just imagine every cheeky nandos c*nt going 'who's the libertines?'".

I find it mental people who are music fans and festival goers don't know who they are but I stopped going to T 5 years ago and the line ups gone right down the shiter.

[Agc123]

I for 1 think it is an unbelievable line up! Such a massive band in there day and strong cult following! Whatever you think of the politics and pete you can deny there tallent, on a side note i was at bst at hyde park last year to see them what a night

[Lor1]

Shes near enough topping every fest she is playing, she will be headlining a night if she is playing, more likely to than The Prodigy (yeah, I had to get that in there )

Quite like The Libertines announcement, saw what was left of them at T 2004, would be nice just for nostalgic reasons, need the rest of the lineup to tempt me though.

Not my cup of tea her screaching makes my ears bleed

[Smally]

I for 1 think it is an unbelievable line up!

Calm down, its only one band!

This remains one of my top gigs ever.

[Matt42]

this is probably the funniest tweet of them all

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Could at least have spelt Grandma right.
