Texas return to T in the Park after 16 years

Texas have been added to the T in the Park line-up, 16 years after their first appearance at Balado.

Sharleen Spiteri and her bandmates played in 1997 – the year of their No1 hit album White on Blonde.

The Scots band returned in 2001 and now play a huge homecoming show to celebrate their new album The Conversation as well as some of their classic hits on the festival’s 20th anniversary.

Hot new acts Josephine, Laura Mvula, AlunaGeorge, Ms Mr, Deap Vally, Logic, Ruen Brothers and Brooke Candy are also booked to perform at the festival which runs from July 12 to 14.

More than 85,000 festivalgoers will descend on the site each day to enjoy headliners Mumford & Sons, Rihanna and The Killers and a host of other acts.

Tickets are still available from www.tinthepark.com or www.ticketmaster.co.uk or by calling 08444 999 990. Boutique camping options in The Residence are also on offer.
