T in the Park phenomenon

Tickets for this years T in the Park festival went onsale on Saturday and two days later the tickets have almost sold out. This is strange as the majority of the line up has yet to be announced. Therefore, either the few bands who have been announced (Green Day, Foo Fighters, Keane, The Killers....) are massive draws or the music is beginning to take a back seat and like Glastonbury, T in the P has established itself as a good weekend away with music as an after-thought or cynically maybe the touting business is alive and well.

I'll not be going this year as I am something of a traditionalist and feel the line up is extremely important, but it would appear that I am in the minority.

Enjoy.
