Arctic Monkeys Confirmed As First T In The Park 2014 Headliner

Arctic Monkeys have been confirmed as the Friday Night headliner for T In The Park 2014.

Yes, Arctic Monkeys will be headlining the Main Stage on the Friday Night of T In The Park 2014. Their last UK Festival performance was last year when they headlined the Friday Night on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2014.



Geoff Ellis the festival director said this about the announcement:
'We’re thrilled to announce Arctic Monkeys as our first headliners for T in the Park 2014. After this year’s fantastic 20th year celebrations, we asked our audience who they’d like to see at next year’s festival and Arctic Monkeys came top of the poll, so we’re really pleased to be able to confirm them for T in the Park.'

However it has not been said that their performance at T In The Park is a UK Festival Exclusive therefore we can assume that they will be playing another festival next summer. Festivals they could play include Isle Of Wight Festival, V Festival, Bestival, and Reading & Leeds, however probably not Glastonbury as they played there last year.

T In The Park asked on their Facebook page for people to send them any letter in the alphabet to help with the announcement and this was the finished product...



Tickets for T In The Park 2014 go on sale on Friday at 9am. To be able to purchase them when they become available click here.
