It was confirmed today that Red Hot Chili Peppers and Calvin Harris will be joining previously announced act The Stone Roses in headlining T In The Park festival. This year’s festival takes place at Strathallan Castle, Perthshire (Scotland), from 8th July to 10th July. Today’s announcement completes the line up for this year’s headlining acts – with The Stone Roses headlining the Friday night, The Red Hot Chili Peppers performing on Saturday night and Calvin Harris closing the festival on the Sunday night.
According to NME, CEO of T In The Park Geoff Ellis revealed:
Having listened to fans and festival-goers tell us who they want to see at Strathallan we worked hard to get those bands on the bill and we’re thrilled to unveil our outstanding line up for 2016.
Only several weeks ago it was speculated that this year’s T In The Park was in danger of being cancelled after a hefty amount of issues concerning last year’s festival emerged, with the main issues being the effect on nearby residents as well as crowd control both on and off site. Fortunately for ticket holders, this year’s festival seems set to go ahead with a bang, reigniting its former reputation as a respected event boasting some of the best acts that live music has to offer. Ellis outlined some of the improvements to be made this year, promising that traffic plans will be reworked and that experienced professionals will be working to ensure that the security on and off site will help make the experience a smooth and enjoyable one for festival goers and local residents.
Other acts to perform at this year’s festival include:
Bastille
The 1975
Disclosure
Faithless
James Bay
LCD Soundsystem
Catfish And The Bottlemen
