Old school meets the new as T in the Park 2011 unveils first acts

Following the news that Foo Fighters are Balado bound once more for a headline slot at this year's T in the Park, a substantial wave of acts for the event were announced today, with Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay rounding out the top billing alongside Dave Grohl's outfit across the weekend of 8-10 July.

In something of a nod to the long-running festival's founding year, the recently reformed Pulp will join fellow T veterans Manic Street Preachers, House of Pain and Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye in rubbing shoulders with the more recent Crystal Castles, Diplo and Deadmau5.

The lineup so far is as follows:
