Festival of the Week: T in the Park, Balado, Kinross-shire
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Missing Glastonbury this year? Not to worry: the Scottish festival that usually welcomes an exodus of Glasto survivors takes up the slack as its bill ranges from big tunes to big beats via all points in between.
New Order and Florence and the Machine warm up for Snow Patrol's emo-hits on Friday, though the biggest noise will be reserved for Saturday's heroes, the Stone Roses, for whom Noel Gallagher's rudimentary rhymes will tickle the T massive's tonsils in singalong-a-bloke readiness.
Every-bloke heroes Frank Turner, Elbow and Kasabian lead on Sunday, though the bill diversifies impressively elsewhere: Tinie Tempah, Example and Nicki Minaj represent hip-pop; Jessie J and Keane cater for fast-food-pop needs; the Horrors and Alabama Shakes bring alterna-cred; and Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris and Orbital should satisfy those for whom a festival without site-shaking beats is, somehow, less than a festival.
