Constantly struggling against the man, even when he comes in the form of a beverage-sponsored rock festival, Rage Against the Machine have leaked the line-up for this year’s T in the Park.
Which many lead you to believe that the band themselves are playing – and you would be, of course, right; Morello, de la Rocha et al. headlining Saturday alongside the Verve (Fri), R.E.M. (Sun) and Kings of Leon, which to Drowned in Sound’s ears make four, though there remains the possibilities that a) this line-up is wrong; and b) RATM have self-promoted themselves to ‘top billing’ before leaking the line-up and adding in the likes of Amy Winehouse and Jack Penate through malice.
It’s hard to say, but if all we have is conjecture then conject (?) we will – the Prodigy! Stereophonics… Hot Chip!
The lot, below:
The Fratellis Kaiser Chiefs Chemical Brothers The Kooks Aphex Twin KT Tunstall Biffy Clyro Erol Alkan The Raconteurs Primal Scream Feeder Counting Crows The Feeling DJ Hell The Wombats Ian Brown Amy MacDonald The Pigeon Detectives The Enemy The Pogues Justice The Charlatans Interpol Pendulum Ben Folds Slam Reverend And The Makers The National Alabama 3 Sons and Daughters Lightspeed Champion The Courteeners Band of Horses Seasick Steve The Ting Tings The Law Black Kids Sergeant Gabriella Cilmi
