T in the Park 2016

I reckon if Skepta plays it's high up on the Radio 1.

Doubt Muse will be there if RHCP are playing.

RHCP are down as a festival exclusive at R/L, whereas Muse are totally free. obviously the exclusive could prove to be bollocks as many do (they already announced Two Door Cinema Club as an exclusive who are playing elsewhere) but i wouldn't count them as 100% playing just yet

Festival exclusive is fairly meaningless though, that could easily be either a full UK exclusive or just an English exclusive. Given  that RHCP are down as a SR on here and there's been another source I think it'll happen.

if true then FR are really playing fast and loose with their exclusives lately!

[Shanks18]

I think Muse are a lot more likely than RHCP, one can but hope.

Would be better in a tent, high up in King Tuts or during the day in the Slam Tent (the Tyler The Creator/The Streets/D12 slot in previous years). Wouldn't surprise me if Stormzy played low King Tuts/ T Break headliner one night either.

I agree btw, and definitely in the slot suggested, but he's the sort of act I can see high on Radio 1.

T just posted a video on their Facebook page, lineup is announced on Thursday 25th February at 5pm.

[harryomatic]

TITP just tweeted saying the lineup is being released 25th Feb

[Alan_C]

Nice one. I haven't followed T announcements for a few years now. Do they usually just announce the majority of the lineup on this announcement, then add a few other names over the following month or two?

[CAMF111]

An anouncment announcing the anouncment... :S

 

but yeah, last couple of years they have announced the bulk of them... Then left like 20ish for the coming weeks.

[Alan_C]

Desperately hoping my gamble of not buying Suede, Last Shadow Puppets and James tickets pays off. No reason for them three to not be on the lineup.

[Alan_C]

What about Massive Attack? Announced for Benicassim.

[kingcrawler]

You'll be fine on The Last Shadow Puppets, hadn't thought about Suede or James but I guess they're possible too. Massive Attack are very unlikely though.

[DomDom1984]

Massive Attack COULD headline Tuts I reckon. I'm leaning towards not, but I don't think it's THAT unlikely.

[Alan_C]

That's what I was thinking, even though I'm not expecting it to happen. Would be a good booking.

[kingcrawler]

Oh I agree it could happen and would be a good booking, it's just that Tuts headliner is the only place they could really play and I think there's more likely acts for that in New Order and Primal Scream and I doubt they'd go with 3 older Tuts headliners.

[Alan_C]

Agree with that as well mind. Them two are likely to play, and they won't have 3 older headliners in KT. It has crossed my mind there's the slightest chance that Primal Scream might play under Roses (like they have at Roses gigs), which might open a KT headline slot. There's also the slightest possibility that NO would do the R1 stage, since they're getting big slots at Glastonbury etc, but I hope not because I much prefer KT.

[Theresurrection]

I think primal scream will almost certainly be there but who knows whether they'll be supporting stone roses

I love The Prodigy, but it would surely be a better booking to get Chemical Brothers if possible this time.

Can't believe it's been 8 years since the chems played last, that Friday night NME performance was one of the best sets  I've ever seen at T

would definately be a step in the right direction to get them back

Lover of T In The Park? Looking forward to this years line up at Riverside Festival? Been to Belladrum, Wickerman or Groove Loch Ness.....

Can you take 2minutes to fill out this quick survey on Scottish music festivals

[Callum1875]

Tame Impala have a few European festival dates prior to titp. Reckon they'd be a good tuts or even r1 headliner 

[Alan_C]

I'd be happy with them playing.

In light of recent R+L rumours, what are the thoughts on Biffy playing but subbing RHCP?
