T In The Park 2005

United Kingdom | 13 July 2005

With a lone piper belting out a neck-tingling rendition of 'Flower of Scotland' aided by thousands of impassioned festival goers, the biggest and best T In The Park ever hosted finishes as it started; a glorious success.

Following a week of G8 tension, anti-poverty campaigns, and deadly terror blasts which gripped the UK, the tranquil hills and fields of Balado proved to be the perfect escape from it all.

And under the constant eye of a blazing sun, a beaming crowd of sexy cowgirls and lobster-like men swapped their fears, guilt, and tension for beer, music and sex; each playing their part in what will go down in festival folklore.

Foo Fighters and Green Day continued their march to world domination, The Killers squeezed half the country's population into one field, Hayseed Dixie emerged as the festival's novelty love, and Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name' boomed live from the mammoth T In The Park PA system for the first time in twelve years.

Forget mud, backstage snootery, hippy shindigging, and novelty nonsense, Ladies and Gentlemen, festivals just don't get any better than this... Click on the links below to find out how and why...
