[Closed] T in the Park sure ain't no Glastonbury…..

One of my team was going, and I was a wee bit surprised of the ticket prices - ain't cheap.

Tennents make shite lager. Why would their sponsorship enhance a piss up in a field set to music. It's just an excuse for pissheads from all over Scotland to network.

One thing in "not same as different thing" shock.

This tea isn't much like the orange juice I had earlier, ho hum I'll just go and drink the juice again.

Try the [i]Kool-Aid[/i], it sure is refreshing.

It's been getting progressively worse for a good few years now. They don't even attempt to get any decent headliners anymore.

btw glastonbury wasn't exactly great either, seems to be a general movement to bland up the festivals.

I went last year, with my daughter. It was ace. Many bands we wanted to see. Great time.

This year? Hardly anyone I like, so not this time. Certainly no Glastonbury I'll say, as it's all music, not the mass of alternative arts waffle.

Its been in decline a bit the last few years (i dont think its just me getting old) but its still a bit of a rite of passage for Scottish youth going there with a big group of mates and having a good time with them. This has its good points and its bad! However for seeing a band you are already a fan of then the atmosphere and crowd interaction at T in the park is usually better than Glastonbury. For overall festival experience and variety of music then it doesnt compare very favourably.

The one saving grace so far is I've found Chvrches set from Friday on BBC3, would've been good to see or even hear Carl Craig or Joris Voorns set from the Slam tent but nae chance of that.

I'm not knocking it as I usually get a free pass for it but couldn't go this year, I thought the BBC coverage would've been a bit more adventurous with the programming.

Thought Calvin was pretty damn good. 😀

And if you're not then you're pretty stupid to watch, as that's what he does...
