It's now confirmed that the T Break Stage will be one of just three stages open on the Friday evening, meaning that a further 4 slots on the T Break Stage will be available to four highly commended bands, with these bands being announced next week.

The T Break Stage is widely regarded as the place to catch the risings stars of tomorrow; the T in the Park careers of bands such as Snow Patrol, The Cinematics and Biffy Clyro began with performances on the T Break stage. And to show their appreciation of the support offered to them by T Break, members of Snow Patrol were seen at two of this year’s showcase events in King Tut’s as they went down to check out the grassroots music scene in Scotland and offered advice to bands performing at the showcases.
