Cover story: T in the Park What don ’t you already know about T in the Park? Some of the headliners are so old your mother will probably be dancing along to their tunes on the main stage at Balado. But if you prefer the idea of a band whose average age is less than 40, it’s worth a look further down the bill, to the acts which make T in the Park a truly diverse festival. We’ve selected some of the bright stars about to break into your world — if they haven’t already — including Pete Doherty’s old Libertines bandmates, Dirty Pretty Things; the wild boys of Aussie rock, Wolfmother; and the kooky Giant Drag, plus many more. Make plans for your alternative T in the Park weekend right here. Feature starts on page 14.
