7 to see at T in the Park
The 22nd annual T in the Park is upon us, taking place at its new home of Strathallan Castle. Away from the limelight hogging chart sensations, we’ve picked out a handful of margin walkers from across the weekend that you simply shouldn’t miss
THE TWILIGHT SAD
Friday 10th July, King Tuts Wah Wah Tent
With the dust settling on album number four and following on from what might be their most accomplished year to-date, James Graham and co. will bring their phenomenally LOUD live setup to this year's T In The Park event, and deliver as much celebration as their brooding, tempered pop music will allow. Here's a taste of the band's more sedate side, an acoustic rendition of Drown So I Can Watch we shot earlier this year at SxSW.
BDY_PRTS
Sunday 12th July, BBC Introducing
The Glasgow duo recently released their second single, Cold Shoulder, and it’s every bit as dazzling as 2014’s debut. With a live show that takes in both elegant electro-pop and shimmering spandex suits, they’re quickly becoming an unmissable proposition.
ST. VINCENT
Saturday 11th July, King Tuts Wah Wah Tent
One of the most electrifying live performers in the game, Annie Clarke is the epitome of artistic growth; rising from a member of Sufjan Steven’s backing band to blossom in to a truly distinct and dynamic artist in her own right. A uniquely powerful proposition that simply shouldn’t be missed.
Pinact
Saturday 11th July, BBC Introducing
It’s been a big year for the Glasgow duo thanks to a string of positive reviews for their debut record, released in May on Brooklyn’s Kanine Records, and their showing here should be the cherry on the cake that their raucous, brilliantly unhinged, guitar pop so thoroughly deserves.
Catholic Action
Saturday 11th July, T Break Stage
The brightest spark in Fuzzkill Records current crop, Catholic Action combine unexpectedly sweet melodies with meaty slabs of guitar and infectious melodies that stick with you for days. Their T in the Park outing will be their biggest show to-date and it can’t come soon enough.
Miaoux Miaoux
Sunday 12th July, BBC Introducing
Fresh off the back of his wonderful new LP, Julian Corrie heads to T in the Park with a whole batch of new songs to woo the masses. School of Velocity is a heady delight of luxurious electro-pop and you can expect a live show which is every bit as affectionate and danceable as you might expect.
WOLF ALICE
Sunday July 12th, Radio 1 Stage
Finally releasing their long-awaited debut album this Summer, London quartet Wolf Alice are on the brink of breaking in to the big league thanks to their sumptuous and thoroughly addictive take on indie rock. Their live shows have a reputation as being one of the brightest and most thrilling on the circuit
