T in the Park made me.....

Ash in the rain in '99 were excellent, although Travis got all the attention for their well timed Why does it always rain on me on the other stage at the same time. Rain does mostly spoil an outdoor gig for me, but sometimes it can add to the atmosphere.

Had an interesting talk with an ice cream selller at Latitude about T in The Park, didn't warm me to ever going there haha! He said at one point there were at least 15 people p***ing against his van and a few who were not just p***ing. Eurrrrgh!! He said by far it is the worst festival to work at these days. I think Latitude was a bit of a shock in a nice way for him tbh, so many pleasant people!

Last time I went to T was 2008. It's been Glasto ever since!

I really enjoyed the earlier Ts, but the line up got more and more repetitive (Kasabian, Snow Patrol, Killers, King of Leon, Kaiser Chiefs...) with all this dancey pop thrown in alongside a chav-ier audience.

I've heard horror stories from this year, my mate had a Sunday day ticket and his day started on the bus over from Edinburgh with a girl tanking a bag of wine before trying to urinate in a sandwich bag. The inevitable stream of urine flowing up and down the bus soaked someone's jacket as the girl shouted from the back "I've had two wee ains, my bladder isnae what it used tae be!". Classy! He then witnessed a bit of a punch up during Chase & Status as people were dragged in to mosh pits and ended up in the mud. Sounded like the festival apocolypse.

Never thought Elbow were a band for T, I could just imagine lots of wee radges waiting at the front for Kasabian shouting "here we, here we, here we effin go".

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. TITP is by far the worst festival I've been to for people just pissing and shitting everywhere and we're not just talking men here, girls happily just squatting against a fence doing a shit. Could be a good marketing tool if they're looking to attract people with piss or poo fetishes. :phew:

    • Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!
    • I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift
    • Christ didn't even see that! 
    • It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
