Straight from the website:

Never before has there been such eager anticipation for T in the Park to launch and we're telling YOU before anyone else what's happening so here goes...

It is with the utmost pleasure that festival organisers Big Day Out Ltd and founding partners Tennent's Lager announce the first of the international line-up and the news on how, where and when to purchase tickets for the festival at Balado, near Kinross, Scotland....
At a packed media launch today, festival organiser Geoff Ellis will announce that American funk-rock heroes and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS will headline the festival on SATURDAY 8th July.
Seminal British music icons THE WHO, whose guitar legend Pete Townshend vowed to return to the festival after performing at last year's festival with Rachel Fuller, will bring the curtain down on SUNDAY 9th July.
THE hottest band on the planet right now, the record-smashing, punk-pop northerners ARCTIC MONKEYS will make a welcome debut, almost a year to the day they performed at the world famous King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow.
Leeds boys, KAISER CHIEFS who have rocketed to stardom in just 12 months and Iceland's SIGUR ROS are also confirmed. From the hometurf... legendary rockers PRIMAL SCREAM will headline the King Tut's Tent on Sunday, their 3rd visit to T in the Park. As if that ain't enough, THE ORDINARY BOYS return after Preston waxed lyrical about his love of playing to Balado.
The Slam Tent celebrates 10 years at the festival, first up announcing Chicago house impresario FELIX DA HOUSECAT on Sunday and as well of course, the SLAM boys themselves.
