T in the Park on BBC 2

For anyone who was not privleged to attend from what I hear was a sensational T in the Park Weekend, or did not have access to BBC Three, there is a two hour compilation of highlights on BBC 2 tonight at 11.35pm.

I have seen some footage on the BBC i Player, featuring returning heroes Manic Street Preachers back after a ten year ban was lifted. Signature tune A Design for Life was particularly emotional.

On BBC Radio 1 I heard a selection of tracks, Kings Of Leon a main stage headliner sounded visceral when playing Sex On Fire. While Lily Allen seemed a little flat in comparison to her Glastonbury stint.

Blur have been the band of the summer in many eyes and this may have been have their last ever gig. The show was cut short to a condensed 75 minutes due to guitarist Graham Coxon being struck by food poisoning. He finally got there straight coming from hospital.

Amongst the other acts too look out for tonight are local favourites Glasvegas who delivered an intense set just before the Manics, plus you have Nine Inch Nails, Bloc Party, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Florence and the Machine and many more from Scotland's biggest music festival.
