After a stunning launch announcement on Monday, T in the Park festival organisers Big Day Out Ltd and founding partners Tennent's Lager live up to their promises with the announcement of huge festival favourites Franz Ferdinand for 2006's event.
Glasgow based art rockers will return to perform at the artist's and audience's favourite festival at Balado by Kinross on Saturday 8th July. Alex Kapranos and bandmates cannot wait to play at T in the Park, saying "Playing at Balado again will be one of the most fantastic festival appearances we’ll ever have." The feeling is mutual as the legendary Balado crowd will no doubt be delighted to see the return of the band who commanded the biggest Main Stage audience ever recorded at T in the Park when they played at 2004's event.
At a packed media launch on Monday, festival organiser Geoff Ellis announced 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. For more info on the event or to take a look back at last year's history, click HERE. Many many more artists will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
