T in the Park 2013

[Shootenanny!]

I made up my three Top 3's, don't think any of them will headline next year.

The Libertines

David Bowie

Paul McCartney

U2

Green Day

Bruce Springsteen

Blur

Radiohead

The Stone Roses

Any of those combinations would be massive and fantastic.

The only one who look remotely possible are Blur and even at that they'd probably be partnered by two obvious/repetitive bookings such as Biffy Clyro and Kings of Leon.

I definitely think Geoff will enquire about Bowie, intact I think he probably already has, but he'll get knocked back for sure!

[stu150]

Supposedly he enquired as soon he heard about the new album in January this year. I seem to remember him saying in an intervew that he went for a beer with his agent to discuss getting him added for this year and was told no live shows.

To be honest Geoff is a Bowie fan so is the guy from Tennent's (who's name escapes me) and they also know Bowie sells. I think it's guarenteed that they will approach him about playing but chances are he won't. They do always call him "the one that got away"

The only way I could see Bowie doing it is if he does more shows next year and he feels as if he should play T as he pulled out last time.

Best thing for Bowie would be to do his own outdoor shows or stadium gigs though.

[a_n_other]

I went for....arcade fire

Bruce Springsteen

daft punk

I expect..... arctic monkeys

Bruno mars

Tiesto

Only partly tongue in cheek....

[blue6field]

Daft Punk will be on every festival's shopping list next year, they could end being very busy robots next summer

[music-fan4]

Adele - could happen, would shift a lot of tickets

Arcade Fire - not well known enough for a festival like T, could headline bestival, r/l, glasto

Arctic Monkeys - Potentially, seems like r/l's turn though

Avicii - could headline radio 1 stage

Beyonce - quite likely, imagine she would take a break next year though.

Biffy Clyro - likely

Blur - not impossible, would be a similar booking to the stone roses.

Bon Jovi - would be a poor booking in terms of music and shifting tickets, doubt it'll happen

Bruce Springsteen - sadly, no

Bruno Mars - sadly, maybe

Coldplay - apparently taking a year or two off to record a new album?

Daft Punk - will be at glasto or bestival (if anywhere)

David Bowie - unlikely

Drake - could headline radio 1 stage, or sub to a rap headliner?

Eminem - maybe, would be another repeat though

Fleetwood Mac - sadly no, if they play anywhere next year it would be headlining glasto...

Florence + the Machine - with a new album, yes

Foo Fighters - another repeat, but maybe

Green Day - maybe, would be a popular booking, but don't see why they'd tour next year

Jay Z - possibly, I think he'd be a scottish fest exclusive, and also play v or r/l

Justin Timberlake - quite likely

Kanye West - don't see it

Kasabian - no, too soon, even T has limits

Kings of Leon - very likely IMO, also recording a new album...

Lady Gaga - potentially

Metallica - would never happen

Muse - quite unlikely

P!nk - could she realistically headline? doubt she'd encourage many to buy tickets...

Paolo Nutini - NO

Paul McCartney - no

Prince - you never know

Radiohead - maybe, if the other two headliners are more mainstream/popular with teens

Red Hot Chili Peppers - same as above

Robbie Williams - doubt it.

Snow Patrol - too soon

Swedish House Mafia - no

Take That - could happen

The Black Keys - could see a sub slot, maybe headline with another big album

The Cure - not at T

The Libertines - sadly, no

The Prodigy - could sub, or headline with UK fest exclusive

The Rolling Stones - no

The Stone Roses - to soon

Tiesto - probably radio 1 stage headliner?

will.i.am - dear god no.

Prediction:

Kings Of Leon Biffy Clyro Adele

Paramore The Vaccines Bruno Mars

Example Two Door Cinema Club Paolo Nutini

I went for Bowie, Arcade Fire, and Bruce Springsteen. However, I think The Boss will probably have completed his tour cycle for his current album by the end of this year so wouldn't be available.

If Bowie plays anywhere next year it will likely be Wembley.

[stu150]

I seem to remember Adele saying she won't play festivals - I don't think she particularly likes big crowds. Has she even ever played a solo show at an arena?

In past years I've felt reasonably safe that even if we continued to get boring bookings they would continue to be decent bands e.g. Kasabian or The Killers but with Rihanna headlining this year I'm dreading what they could put up next.

[thewayiam]

strange thing to bring up but what was all that TITP Slam link to S Club 7 all about

[jockthescot]

Wish they stop votes and use their heads! Most people that vote are prob school leavers or still at school! Anyway never mind next year still got this year! I'm still hopeful there will be a secret act announced!

[jockthescot]

And KOL are a certainty next year for T or Rockness

I went for

U2

Bruce Springsteen

Daft Punk

Basically 3 I've never saw yet at T or anywhere else and I'd love to see live at one point or another.

[Comfy Bean]

Has anyone stayed at the Travelodge in Kinross? - Just wondering if it's easy (ie Traffic wise) to get to the festival on the Friday morning as staying there just for Thursday night, and if it is going to be a nightmare what sort of time should we set off?

Also does anyone know if it's tricky to get into Kinross from there (for a couple of pints on Thurs evening) - it seems like its on a motorway so probably can't walk it!

Cheers for your help!

[Red Day]

There certainly used to be and assume there's still one running. Picks up at the square next to that David Sands shop and goes out via Milnathort.

[Comfy Bean]

Cheers.

[JamesT977]

I chose Bruce Springsteen, Metallica and Radiohead. Bruce Springsteen purely because Geoff said he wasn't T's demographic and i felt that being a fan i needed to try prove wrong!

[guitarbhoy1888]

Biffy

Bowie

Radiohead

[Red Day]

Bowie and Radiohead seem fairly popular. Hope Geoff takes note

[foolee]

Do we think stage splits will be today?

[Gingo]

[Red Day]

I wouldn't put money on it. Longer it's left the less chance a clashfinder appears and the more chance Geoff gets to fleece you for a lanyard which is normally incorrect anyway. #cynical
