T in the Park 2013

[thewayiam]

I am romanticising the idea a fair amount, but I see your point. I would be surprised if the album does bomb that much, but who knows what will happen.

[Hendycfc]

I seriously hope that Imagine Dragons play.

[Millar95]

They'll probably be around a few places this year! They're already booked for IOW so they're already a possibility

The main thing i look forward to at TITP now is being able to see a few smaller bands that i wouldnt be able to see if the big names were all excellent, there are always plenty of bands i would go and see even if i havnt heard of them before they are announced

Times have definitely changed but im actually feeling strangely upbeat after having gave it a good think

They still haven't sold out the December pre-sales with their new pop lineup, judging by the Ticketmaster emails the other day.

Personally I'd see smaller bands as long as I get my money's worth overall. For £200+ I expect to see several bands I'd pay for to break even. Hard Rock calling was far better value for money for me last year and it only had two stages.

I think I counted 3 bands I wanted to see at T in 2012 and they were all bands playing up to 1500

people on their own tours. So far I see zero at T2013.

[Gparsfan]

Allot of people will be holding out till February tbh.

I dunno if you've noticed but the "small stages" have been disappearing over time too. There's a lot less choice now as well as pish on the main stages.

I think that's something that might have to become fairly common for all the bigger festivals over the next few years.

I've never felt that so many stages would be sustainable, because that gets to mean that any fest chews thru the bands that are available too quickly - meaning that eventually there's too few 'fresh' acts to keep the festival interesting.

Then again, devilman doesn't want fresh acts, he wants the same line-up from ten years ago repeated ad infinitum.

Editors as a strong rumour pleases me.

I would like some act from the 60's and 70's never mind 10yr old ones.

T would never book him, but I saw John Fogerty support Bruce Springsteen at Hyde Park last year and he was fantastic.

David Bowie owes T a performance.

Maybe he can headline the NME tent with Bruce Springsteen on the other day?:-)

[guitarbhoy1888]

the whole david bowie thing really pisses me off

for the money spent on rhianna and the killers he could have put it into bowie and a shittier headliner ...

[Gparsfan]

Seeing as Bowie has more or less retired he couldn't have actually, I've lost count of the amount of times that the guy who runs TiTP has said how much he likes Bowie.

Next.

[Paul ™]

New single out and album out soon.. so there maybe gigs to come too...

that pre-supposes that Bowier can be booked. It's exceedingly likely that no amount of money can entice him to perform.

[blue6field]

New Bowie single is quite good, heard it this morning

[guitarbhoy1888]

Yeah I take that back

Read earlier that he won't be doing any live dates OR interviews !
