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:

    • Sun's out today. Can feel the hills calling. Time to ramp up the energy levels. I've been easing my way in gently the last 2 weeks with the likes of Hayley and Lael Neale and Cut Worms and Maria Somerville etc. Time to unleash some Shame, Mogwai, Place to Bury Strangers and especially Wednesday and Mannequin Pussy.  Also, just back from a brilliant night in Belfast at the Fleadh Ceoil so anything with a fiddle or a whistle or a squeeze box is drawing me like the Sirens. Madra Salach with the volume up. COME ON!!
    • My Orange car park ticket turned up today. The envelope looked like some kind of junk mail offering me a loan so I nearly didn't open it!
    • There is a bunch of TBC acts on Deftones day, according to APE insta. The obvious guesses are Fiddlehead, Nothing, Dynamite and Make Way, "Outbreak" artists playing the night before. The question is more about how are they are gonna fit in on three big stages.    is 
    • SURELY Reel Big Fish will be here? 
    • Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter is a very bland set of headliners. Commercially successful and makes plenty of sense, but it wouldn't be very inspirising. That said I want a band like Green Day to headline so who am I to say what exciting is.
