This summer, T in the Park will take up residency in the grounds of Strathallan Castle, and festival organisers DF Concerts and founding partner Tennent’s Lager recently revealed the acts set to play the first year at the festival’s brand new Perthshire home. Over 10-12 July, Strathallan Castle will play host to a bill packed with some of the world’s biggest bands, DJs, solo artists and breakthrough talent, as well as a daily crowd of 85,000 music fans.
Joining previously announced The Libertines on the T in the Park bill will be Kasabian, who headline the first day at the festival’s new home. Swedish DJ/producer Avicii will make his T in the Park debut when he closes the Main Stage on Saturday.
