    I don't think I'm bothered camping this year, as its too much money.

    Would it be any more hassle to buy 3 day passes?

    You can buy a 3 day non-camping ticket.
    That's what I'm doing, did it last year too.

    No, if you have a good group of friends with you then you should be fine, although if you don't try and get friendly with your neighbours.

    I would bring small locks for your tent but only if you know you'll keep the key safe. I got robbed the 1st day last year and bought the locks straight away and nothing else was robbed :D

    Things are bound to go wrong, so just go with an open mind and try to have a craicing time. Don't get all flustered, upset etc if at all possible

    Brandon Flowers "to be confirmed" for TITP and a "strong rumor" for Oxegen.

    That has made my night :)

    Very rarely they are wrong. I expected him to play Oxegen when he announced Gurtenburg. Dunno where he will fit in in the line-up tho.

    Ah ok then, I wouldn't be a fan of him myself, but according to that Biffy Clyro are a strong rumour too so I'm hoping for that!

    That hasn't happened in while. Usually its the same headliners. Infact we usually get most of TITP with the odd better act.

    We share about 90% of the acts TITP have. We usually get a few acts who do Rockness and not TITP and they sometimes get a few acts we dont get eg Madness/Billy Talent/Airbourne

    would like to see Bright Eyes and Eels, but not enough to buy a ticket, as the rest of the lineup is awful so far.

    The only one I'd be happy about would be Pulp, and that would only be for Common People

    THE Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and the Foo Fighters will headline this year's T in the Park it was revealed today.

    All three bands have previously headlined the festival which is held in Balado, Perthshire.

    Sheffield indie stars The Arctic Monkeys, who headlined in 2007, will be making their third appearance at the festival, which is being held on the weekend of July 8-10.

    Coldplay will play to an expected crowd of 85,000 eight years after being the star act in 2003.

    American rockers Foo Fighters, fronted by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, headlined the festival in 2005.

    Other acts on the bill include: US punk rockers Blink 182, reformed indie darlings Pulp, The Script, rising soul star Plan B, grime rapper Tinie Tempah and veteran star Tom Jones.

    Geoff Ellis, of promoters DF Concerts, said: “I’m really pleased with our artist announcements and proud to deliver a whole host of bands including many that T in the Park fans told us they wanted to see when we surveyed them post event.

    "We’re delighted that T in the Park is the festival that bands want to play at and music lovers want to be at. I can’t wait to open up the campsite gates in July and welcome back the T in the Park community – bring on Balado 2011!”

    George Kyle, of sponsors Tennent's Lager, added: “Each and every year it’s an absolute honour to unveil the fantastic line-up of world class bands that continue to want to play T in the Park.

    "This incredible announcement of bands once again reinforces our position internationally as a market leading festival. As founding partner, Tennent’s Lager is proud to have been the T in T in the Park for 18 years and counting.”
