Cover story: T in the Park Special
For one weekend only the tranquil Kinross-shire countryside will be transformed into a city of tents, stages and portaloos inhabited by 80,000 people. Over the past 13 years, T in the Park has grown from a modest wee shindig in Strathclyde Park to one of the biggest music events in the UK. This year 80 acts will perform over ten stages. We’ve picked out a selection for you to gnaw over, from homecoming heroes Calvin Harris and Paolo Nutini, to woman of the hour Beth Ditto of The Gossip plus the triumphant return of New York’s mighty Interpol. Let the musical mayhem commence. See page 12.
