In Case of Fire
Festivals are always a great place to check out new bands. and T in the Park has a great tradition for uncovering hidden gems. In (‘ase ol‘ Fire are definitely worth checking out. We played some shows with them last year in their native Ireland and they were amazing every night. Expect them to be loud. King Tut’s 'Ient. Sat [2 Jul.

Band of Horses
Listening to Band ol‘ llorses reminds me ol‘ recording our last album in Vancouver. livery day Simon would put it on in the car and we‘d listen to 'The liuneral‘ over and over. It‘s an amazing song and their new album (‘ease to Begin is one ol‘ my l‘avourite records of last year. Pet Sounds Arena. Sat [2 Jul.

Battles
I‘ve never had a chance to watch Battles play live. but I‘ve heard their show is pretty special. They are a band that just do things differently to other bands and I can‘t wait to linally check them out. A friend of mine said he left their gig and had to go home because he thought his head was going to fall ol'l‘. Pet Sounds Arena. Sun [3 Jul.
My Morning Jacket I only got into My Morning Jacket relatively recently. considering
they‘ve been doing what they do for
such a long time. Their album .7. from a couple ol‘ years ago was a tour bus favourite and it seems like their new one lz‘i'il Urges could become a modern classic. livery time I listen to it. l come away singing 'llighly Suspicious‘ in a stupid voice. Pet Sounds Arena. Sun

We Are Scientists
The Scientists are some ol‘ the nicest guys around. We‘ve played a levy shows with them over the last couple ol‘ years and they really are quite the entertainers. You‘ll be
ll‘ttl)(1()tl(?f)
laughing. but I promise it won‘t be at their music. because. as we all know. their music is llawless. Radiol/NMIi Stage. Sat l2 Jul.
Ben Folds
We all grew up listening to Ben Folds Five and their first couple of albums will always remind me of when we were at school. W ‘ went to see them at the Queen Margaret L'nion in 1998 and it was one of my all time best gigs. We got to meet them after the gig and we were so nervous I don‘t think we had much to say. Ben Folds ol‘ course is a gentleman so I‘m sure you‘ll enjoy his company as much as we did. Pet Sounds Arena. Sat [2 Jul.
Twin Atlantic
As I mentioned earlier. T in the Park is always a great place to see new bands. especially at the T- Break stage. Over the weekend. look out for a band called Twin Atlantic. They‘re a young band from Glasgow with a massive sound. They‘ve been playing some big shows recently. so I expect that they‘re going to be ones to watch. 'lllireak Stage. Sat 12 Jul.
Biffy Clyro play the Main Stage, Sat 12 Jul.
