The beauty of the event is that a lot of acts like to do something a little bit different from their usual set.

The event has been going since 2006 in London but last year increased its capacity to two cities; introducing Liverpool to the lineup.

This year’s event started October 22nd and will end on the 24th. Headliners for this years event include Robbie Williams, Dizzee Rascal, Shirley Bassey and Doves.

Coverage of the event can be found on the BBC.

However, if you had an incredible time at T and cannot wait to return next year then read away!

Like most major festivals these days, soon after the event pre-sale tickets go on sale for next year’s festival. A limited number of tickets for T in the Park 2010 have now gone on sale at this year’s prices (2009). So not only are tickets cheaper, but you’ll avoid the squeeze during next years ticket rush.

Ticket prices are as follows:
Full weekend ticket (including arena access on Friday) £170
Full weekend with Thursday camping (Thurs – Sun) £180
Saturday and Sunday Combined Ticket (No Camping) £145
Parking tickets £17.50
Campervan ticket £100
Lockers (with phone chargers) £15

Next year’s T takes place at it’s Balado location from 9th – 11th July. A line-up of around 180 artists is expected to play over 11 stages but, as usual, the line-up is still to be disclosed (probably because no acts have been booked yet).
