T In The Park Festival 2010
T In The Park 2010 is an essential date on any music enthusiasts’ calendar. Held at the airport in Balado, Kinross-shire, between Fri. the 9th and Sunday 11th of July, this 3 day holiday is being headlined by some real musical heavy weights! Fri. sees Muse taking the top slot with their stadium filling brand or rock. Frontman & guitar player Matt Bellamy has been welcomed as one of the best abilities to come out of the United Kingdom for years and his band never displease.
On Saturday it is rapper and self confessed bad boy Eminem who ends the show. The closing party on Sunday is headlined by Leicester rockers, Kasabian, who have just been nominated for three awards by the readers of MOJO magazine. Another highlight, in my humble opinion, would be the chance to see the legendary Madness headlining the Radio One/NME stage. Expect to hear some great ska/pop classics such as ‘It Must Be Love, Our house, Baggy Trouser and The Prince mixed in with the usual Madness tomfoolery.
Stereophonics have just lately released a new album titled ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’. They’re hitting the key stage just before Eminem with Paolo Nutini, Vampire Weekend, The Proclaimers, Newton Faulkner and Scouting for Girls.Paloma Religion , the wonderfully quirky frontman / performer, is supporting Muse of the Friday with The Massive Pink. As well as the three main stages there’s also King Tuts Wah Wah stage, ( Calvin Harris, Mumford and Boys ), The Red Bull Jam Future stage, ( Echo and the Bunnymen, Ash, The Drums ) and the Slam tent, ( Carl Cox, Plastikman ) And a bounty of acts appearing across the week end like Chipmunk, Perl and the Puppets, Unicorn Kid, Kid Adrift and The Boy Who Surrounded The Sun.
In between your favorite artist, (or should that be when the artists you don’t like are on), you can wander over to the funfair or the cinema where you can decide for yourself what films you see. Voting will open sometime before the event and the most popular films get shown. Also there will be two Healthy T areas, one in the music arena and one in the campsite. Lounge around on big cushions or enjoy the sun, (fingers crossed), on the benches whilst sampling some great foods from around the world.
Massage is also on offer with many various massage styles to make a choice from costing anywhere between 10 and 30 pounds! Bargain! Two ‘Refresh and Cosset Stations’ are available too with ‘posh’ toilets, hairdryers, showers and hair straighteners!!
As you would expect there are a great many market stalls selling almost everything you have got to make your weekend a unusual one but please look at the ‘Essentials’ section on the T in the Park internet site to get around paying out for things you already have in your attic! Have some fun and enjoy!
