T In The Park 2014

[Muppetmark]

I've just caught up with the thread. My guess at headliners is Biffy Clyro, Arctic Monkeys and Jay-Z & Justin Timberlake co-headlining like they did at Wireless under their 'Legends Of The Summer' schtick.

The Prodigy, Paramore & Bruno Mars as subs too.

Problem is though T doesn't seem to know what direction to go in

GE kept quoting this 19-25 demographic in his interviews but the line up he served up didn't sell out. If he just serves up a legendary headliner and then the same guff as the last 2 years you'd have a tiny crowd for someone like a Springsteen and a huge crowd for whatever DJ is playing opposite on the radio 1 stage.

T has lost its identity, lots for DF to think about

[Gingo]

Apart from The Prodigy the rest is bollocks ,T needs to sort out the pish and get back to the drawing board They need a major legend headling

[Pokeybumwanker]

Biffy, Arctics and Jay Z/JT is a strong lineup of headliners, there hasnt been a really legendary act headlining since 2006 with The Who

Can anyone give advice on finding hotels. Where best to get one and what's it like getting etween the hotel and festival. It's not for me but for someone who can't hack the camping. Hotels in Kinross have no availability at the moment. Is Perth too far?

I wouldn't be really happy with that but i'd take it I'm hoping for no pop/rap headliners unless it's kanye but can't really see it... But heres hoping!

Not a fan of Radiohead but i'd be happy with these headliners as daft punk should be alright and I love Pearl Jam. Also not being big fans of the other two but I think these headliners would bring back a really good crowd and sure to have a right good old undercard.

It's be nice to have the same set of headliners big day out have,

Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire and Blur

[devilman]

Big day out headliners are brilliant! and if T could bag those 3 I think it would go a long way to restoring its reputation

I'd be there in a heartbeat

[Comfy Bean]

Yip. If Arcade Fire are there I`m in.

[Gingo]

I could probably see that but replace Pearl Jam with Daft Punk/Arctic Monkeys/Biffy Clyro, just cant see Pearl Jam at T

Getting a hotel in Kinross would be ideal, there is a free Shuttle bus every few minutes from the campsite etc.

[Gparsfan]

If you can drive just book into the Premier Inn at the Fife Leisure Park in Dunfermline, 5-8 minutes up the motorway.

[ToonArmy9]

Cheers for the advice. They will be coming up by train so Edinburgh would probably be best. How much does the shuttle bus cost? How often are the buses on afterwards?

[Gingo]

Why ?

We have had RATM

[devilman]

Very true but they have a history with T being the first ever headliner, I suppose if they went for a heavier act Pearl Jam would be ideal but the way the festival has changed I just dont know anymore

[blue6field]

I don't get this doubtful attitude. Build it and they will come. There are a shit load more T attendees staying away now than going. Book the right headliners, announce them before everybody makes other plans and the place will fill up with the fans of the bands. Of course there needs to be a balanced and suitable undercard but it's possible to cater for a whole variety of genres. All those people filling Murrayfield and Hampden for the likes of Springsteen and ACDC would happily go to a festival too! There are a shit load of frustrated Pearl Jam fans in Scotland too.

[Gingo]

Fuck it your both right, this negative attitude is getting us nowhere, next years headliners Pearl Jam, ACDC, Oasis, boom ultra sellout

[frankblack]

Agreed!!

take a punt with a Pearl Jam, announce it early, stop fucking about with day splits/ stage splits etc so people can't make clashfinders

worst case scenario is it doesn't sell out again!

[KeiranBanks]

Arcade Fire without a doubt! Any idea if Fall Out Boy will play?

[Lauraletford]

What are the odds of the red hot chili peppers headlining next year? I wish we could have more bands like green day and the foo fighters there but it's turned into a pop fest. I do like pop music but IMHO nothing sounds better live than rock.
