Cover story: T in the Pa

E's.

rk

Forget the weather, the queues and the problems of finding a vacant toilet: there’s something irresistible about T in the Park. Headline acts like Foo Fighters, Green Day and New Order may have ensured a sell- out in record time this year, but look down the bill and you’ll find the real joy of this annual Balado bonanza. Here, the cool, the cantankerous and the curmudgeonly are waiting to entertain us. In this issue, we provide the full line-up for both days and talk to some of the year’s hottest properties, including an exclusive audience with Foo Fighters’ legendary singer Dave Grohl. Coverage starts on page 18.
