Festival Director, Geoff Ellis, said, "We've taken four of the biggest names in the world as headliners, added recent Grammy and Brit Award winners along with some of the hottest international talent from across the globe and brought you the beginnings of the line up for T in the Park 2009."

"With a world renowned audience, it's no wonder our early bird allocation of tickets sold out in under a day but T in the Parkers will get another chance to buy when tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am. Plus we've loads more still to announce and can't wait to see you in July!"
