T In The Park 2014

I don't see why they'd give someone like avici the leg up instead of Calvin Harris. I think we are reading into this 'international' thing too literally. Couldn't international just mean an act that's big around the world?

[DomDom1984]

Calvin Harris/Tiesto or Calvin Harris/Biffy Clyro will be the combination.

[Matt42]

It doesn't mean a thing, just typical festival organisers spin to put some added interest Into a waning festival.

Would be amazed if the co headliner isnt the same as IOW.

Arctic Monkeys

Calvin Harris/Biffy Clyro

Eminem

[DomDom1984]

I think it's the most likely combination, but I wouldn't rule out the Tiesto/Calvin Harris combo and that's actually what I'm rooting for, so long as they don't have something awesome on the second stage. I reckon I'd eat that right up.

Biffy Clyro will either headline with Calvin Harris or sub for Eminem if Eminem is playing.

I can't see Biffy subbing a Scottish festival. They absolutely killed R&L so no doubt there'd be a big market for them to headline. I would much prefer a Biffy headline set rather than playing before anyone, a perfect band to finish off the night.

It would be even weirder to see Eminem behind Calvin Harris. Calvin Harris is closing T in the Park on the Saturday if it isn't another dance act that's on with him. Eminem doesn't play behind anyone.

I'm pretty much ruling out Eminem/Calvin Harris as a result. Which means IF Eminem plays, Biffy Clyro wouldn't be headlining.

Eminem doesn't play behind anyone.

[DomDom1984]

Really? Chase and Status?! Even Mumford and Sons don't play behind that lot.

Fair enough.

Totally agree.

Would be quite strange biffy subbing there home festival when they have headlined 2 big festivals recently.

The thing thats making me think its not Calvin Harris is when they said something along the lines of applying for the later license to perth + kinross council it was to allow T the chance of getting a pair of headliners to rival other fests in the UK, now I know it could all just be spin but they have booked Calvin for the last 5 years or something like that so why would they have needed an extra amount of time to get him and someone else where they could just have booked him with ease and not forked out on essentially 4 headliners

Is there any evidence to say Eminem will actually headline? He seems too exclusive to headline the same festival again after 4 years

[LondonTom]

Especially since playing Glasgow Summer Sessions just last year, doubt DF would book him to play 3 times within 4 years?

[Matt42]

Keese said him and arctic monkeys were headlining.

Arctic monkeys were announced.

Eminem announces a worldtour that puts him in Europe come july.

Keese is known for getting bands due to his sources! Nothing confirmed but right now it looks likely!

[DomDom1984]

I've been talking about Eminem purely as an "if". I in no way see him as a certainty, but I think he is a possible, and I still think the most possible combo on the Saturday is Biffy Clyro/Calvin Harris just like IoW.

[Chiefski]

Has no one considered that it might be Arctic Monkeys on the Saturday and a dance act after them, with the common examples in Biffy/Eminem on either the Friday/Sunday?

I'll go back to my old stance of Calvin isnt playing too. Probably Aviccii but there hasnt been many 'huge' electronic/dance acts announced for other fests on the continent yet outside maybe Skrillex (who wouldnt be a main stage act) to make proper judgment of that yet

[harryomatic]

Arctics could be a shout for the Saturday aye, especially as they're in Portugal (or Spain, can't remember which) on Thursday night. Would be a bit of a squeeze to get all their equipment up to Scotland in one day. Following that logic, it seems sensible for them to headline T on either Saturday or Sunday
