T in the Park

[NeilVJ]

Just wondering if anyone has been watching T in the Park. Thought the Arctic Monkeys were brilliant last night but there has been some dross. Nice to see the Scots getting plenty of rain though

Just caught a bit of it. Apparently the idiots presenting it think pissing in fields is hilarious.

The Strokes look much better then they did when they played Radio 1's big weekend.

[formed a band]

they do, radio one thing cassablancas was wasted and bored, im no foos fan they would rock glasto, and turd like beyonzzzzz and gayplay, they are on the same night at t, dont get me wrong as a spectacle and an overall t and glastini dont compare but just for once go to town with a really goos, a la mode pyramid line up, im not as a rule fussed about the pyramid but shouldnt the best festo ever have a main stage line up over 3 days that is

something like in no order per se

u2

strokes

foo fighters

ray davies

cold play

beyonce

arctic monkeys

pulp

rolling stones

radiohead

the white stripes

the arcade fires

pearl jam

neil young

morrisey

S**t went down for house of pain - jump around. I doubt the crowd had moved for the rest of their set though

Arctics looked a hundred times better than when they last headlined reading, thry might actually be enjoying theirself

[LondonTom]

Arctic Monkeys brilliant? Slightly less pretentious but overall boring, to long between each and every song, limited crowd interaction outside of happy birthday, shit lights and I dunno I like 3 out of 4 records, but live they do nothing for me.

Chase & Status just gone to prove they should been headlining john peel instead of west holts, seemed to be working loads better.

[Alcatraz]

Because Ts such a depressing place to look at on the tele, Im watching the Coldplay set from Glasto for the first time instead

[Alcatraz]

By the way does anyone know what the deal with that "Gold Circle" at the front of the main stage? Do you have to have a special ticket for it or something?

[efcfanwirral]

Coldplay struggling at T I think. Crowd nowhere near as good or loud as two weeks ago - very little interest in Shiver there. I've switched off!. though as there were audible singalongs for new arctic monkeys album tracks last night it says a lot about the demographic who go there...

No you just go in at the sides, when its full they close it off. Its one of the crap things about T for me, yes you get a bit more room but you have to get to the act early and queue.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Erh last year it was crap, I think I listened to biffy one day and stereophonics & skunk anasie another whilst queing to see the next acts. At a normal festival I would've seen both of these.

Gives the place a disneyland queing feel, just to see an act from the circle. The people who disliked the shangri la one way would be raging!

Foos are such babes, one of the very few bands that love doing live shows, they even asked to play early !

The only people to blame for The Strokes not playing Glastonbury is The Strokes themselves.

Glasto doesn't ever do exclusive bookings, while The Strokes always take an exclusive booking because it gets them the most money for doing the littlest.

Would really like to see The Foo's at Glasto, I don't really listen to them all that much on a day to day basis but they look bloody good live. Gotta say T have done well this year with the lineup (in terms of having bands who could easily or ARE headlining other festivals playing lower down, The Strokes 2nd down on the 2nd stage seems mad)

[happinessisawarmgun]

I thought Arctic Monkeys looked fantastic.

I really really liked Humbug, but they've appeared to have ditched most of it from the live act. Which I like, because it's a bit too downbeat (wouldn't have killed them to do Cornerstone mind, I adore that song)

I'm not completely convinced by the new album, but it's a decent listen and the songs from it seemed to go down well at T.
