The line-up for this year’s T in the Park is a motley one – mobbed up, Rage Against the Machine squawk obnoxiously in the ear of The Feeling, The Enemy are shooting eyes at Aphex Twin and Michael Mayer sits next to The Raconteurs on the bill.

Still, the festival organisers are not sated and have been back at the Benzedrine again it seems, announcing Will Young and Battles on the same day.

dEUS and Echo and the Bunnymen, who earlier announced this huge anniversary show, both brush off the distinctly eggy scent of Goo Goo Dolls to feature, alongside Amy Winehouse, Interpol and Justice amongst others, at Balado in Kinross from the 11th ‘til the 13th of July.

Tickets for the event are long sold out.
