Why we love T In The Park in 2011?


Now here we reveal some ten reasons that why we love T In The Park in 2011

1. Jarvis Cocker news in the final month of his prose. In a ceremony set the stage for a new reform leadership pulp, angular frontman red top in their unique way to wave goodbye to the writhing dance takes off.

2. Beyonce take a stand for all women. What appeared dressed in sparkly swimsuit, the woman with the biggest hair in the known universe terrified every red-blooded male in the crowd by encouraging a mass sing-along, accessorized with pointed hand-waving. “If you liked then you shoulda put a ring on it…”

3. Balado's grand moment ‘Sweet Child O Mine’ because of the opening stress is a collective piece. Looking almost as leathery as his hat, Slash reminds us all just how many of rocks greatest licks he’s got in the back pocket of those skin-tight black trousers.

4. Stroke better than the crowd is fun. “So, this is like a big rock show”, jowly Julian Casablancas drawls, as I thought it was for. “Just play the hits!” Back Glaswegian wag hollers. A stern, judging from ‘Last Night’ the boy had a point.

5. 85,000 indefatigable spirit is shining through the rain and mud and wet to take out the other side smiling. He's a Scottish sheep and lemon make lemonade, they strongly downpours of biblical proportions and it will make mud bath - if the boat.

6. Tasty alternatives to burger vans and lager. Falafel, hog roasts and traditional stovies fill bellies and fortify revellers ready for more action, whilst the Kraken rum tent’s delicious cocktails are so popular that on occasion it is impossible to get in the door.

7. Taking a punt on something new. Sometimes it feels like every year T grows more little venues around its sprawling site. Away from the main stages there are gems to be found for the intrepid. This year’s fortuitous find comes in the form of Aberdeen purveyors of ‘distorted pop’ The Xerts on the BBC Introducing stage.

8. Top notch golden oldies. Always a mixed bag, T in the Park 2011 has a mighty line-up of acts of a certain vintage. 71-year-old silver fox Tom Jones musters Friday’s biggest sing-along with ‘Delilah’, whilst Debbie Harry’s cheekbones – and tongue – are still razor sharp at 66. Leading Blondie in platinum wig and white miniskirt, she’s everyone’s favourite tearaway punk of pensionable age.

9. Rivers Cuomo’s T spirit. Weezer’s geeky singer laughs in the face of the darkening clouds, wrapping himself in a bright yellow T poncho and immediately ingratiating himself with his dripping audience. That he followed the gesture with a solid set of the band’s hits and a sparkling cover of Radiohead’s Paranoid Android’ is really just a bonus.

10. Spectacular stadium rock. While Coldplay struggled to lift Saturday night, seeming flat after the sparkling MRS Jay-Z, Foo Fighters show that nobody does expansive, air-punching outdoor live experiences like the Yanks. Thanks to the ever-grinning Dave Grohl, Sunday night is party night and the festival ends with a headbanging shot of pure adrenaline.
