Everyone knows that The List is the leading magazine in its field. Especially when that field is at Balado near Kinross, and it’s time for T in the Park. Now in its sixth year, Scotland’s biggest and best outdoor music festival packs in a weekend of live bands and DJs to have you dancing, toe-tapping, moshing and reeling from morning until night. And that’s not all —- you can enjoy all the fun of the fair, spot the stars of tomorrow and browse amongst the stalls scattered around the site.
In this special T in the Park guide, The List talks to some of the unmissable acts who will be setting the stages alight. We’ve also got details on the line-ups and the essential information about buying tickets and travelling to the festival. Read on, and get ready to face the music.

'The guy from the record company said we wouldn’t be able
to beat the bar bill of £800 the Super Furry Animals had rung up. We did £1200, but
I think £200 of that was asprin the next day.'
Richard Jones, Stereophonics

w. ’Being female with ,4? two other guys, people assumed I I was I was singing a, someone else’s songs and that is so frustrating. I don't want people thinking I am just ornamental.' Dot Allison
’This is rock ’n’ roll, and I think that a lot of people take it way too seriously. Please, come on. It's not like - we're writing Moby Dick or anything here.’ Huey, Fun Lovin’ Criminals
’I’ve always had paranoia. I think it’s probably the result of moving about a lot when I was younger; I went to something like thirteen different schools. I’m not looking over my shoulder all the time, but I do worry a lot' Roddy Woomble, Idlewild
’Gary Glitter, The Sweet, I\/Iud were just a bunch of lager louts running about in their mothers' underwear. We’re definitely not trying to reinvent.’

the party's comin' out.' DJSneak
