Mark Ronson joins T in the Park 2015 festival line-up

Mark Ronson joins T in the Park 2015 festival line-up

Following last week’s T in the Park line-up announcement, festival organisers DF Concerts and founding partner Tennent’s Lager have today announced some exciting new additions to the 2015 bill, including the unstoppable Mark Ronson (DJ set), Everything Everything, Admiral Fallow, Jack Savoretti, Rae Morris, Marmozets and Saint Raymond. 

Fans will be able to get their hands on T in the Park 2015 tickets when they go on sale at 9am this Friday 27th February from www.tinthepark.com, with an exclusive pre-sale batch available for T Lady subscribers to snap up tomorrow.

The hugely in-demand, multi-Grammy Award-winning producer and musician Mark Ronson will make his T in the Park debut this July in what will surely be one of the most hotly anticipated DJ sets of the weekend at Strathallan Castle. Ronson returned with a bang at the end of last year with his record-breaking smash hit single Uptown Funk featuring Bruno Mars. He followed up with his brand new album Uptown Special - his most inventive and vibrant work to date - which became his first-ever number one album in the UK and entered the Top Ten on the Billboard 200 chart in the US when it was released earlier this year.

Since they appeared on the longlist of the BBC Sound of 2010 award, genre-defying, Manchester-based indie rock outfit Everything Everything have gone from strength to strength, receiving a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination for their debut album Man Alive. The band return with more unpredictable, infectious pop gems this spring, with the release of their third album Get to Heaven.

Glaswegian folk pop five-piece Admiral Fallow first played T in the Park in their former guise, when they headlined the T Break Stage in 2009 as the Brother Louis Collective. Through melding an indie-rock line-up with clarinet, flute, double bass, string section and two jaw-dropping vocals, they deliver beautifully eccentric and finely-crafted songs. Their debut album, Boots Met My Face, was packed with anthemic choruses and stomping Wilco-esque tunes, and its 2012 follow-up, Tree Bursts in Snow was similarly rapturously received by fans and critics alike.

When Jack Savoretti released his critically-acclaimed 2011 release Before The Storm, it earned him a well-deserved reputation as one of the most exciting new songwriting talents around. The record’s eagerly anticipated follow-up Written In Scars was released this month, showcasing his gorgeous, gritty, soul-soaked vocals and bringing to the fore his richly diverse influences.

Another hotly tipped singer-songwriter, Rae Morris was longlisted in the BBC Sound of 2015 poll, and released her dazzling debut album Unguarded at the beginning of the year. The album debuted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart, and earned major plaudits for its ethereal, atmospheric pop.

Marmozets’ debut album, The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets, made a big impression upon its release and won the band major critical acclaim for its huge, ambitious sound. Hailed as “the most exciting young band in Britain" by Kerrang!, they are set to play T in the Park for the first time this summer.

Saint Raymond was one of the most talked about acts of last year. His single Young Blood was Zane Lowe’s ‘Hottest Record in the World’ on Radio 1, and he secured the sole support slot for Haim’s sold-out UK and European tour. His self-penned, independently released debut Escapade EP shot up the iTunes album chart upon release.

With some of the biggest names in music heading for Scotland this summer, T in the Park’s debut outing at Strathallan Castle is already shaping up to be an unmissable weekend

Travis,Hurts,Johnny Marr and more announced for T in the Park 2013

They played the very first T in the Park back in 1994 in their former incarnation Glass Onion, headlined in 2000 and 2005, and now the mighty Travis are set to return to Kinross to play T in the Park’s 20th year celebrations in what is set to be a poignant homecoming show for the band and audience alike. Festival organisers DF Concerts and founding partner Tennent’s Lager have today added an array of top acts to the T in the Park bill, with the Glasgow four-piece plus Hurts, Johnny Marr, James Skelly, Jack Savoretti, Willy Mason, Foy Vance, Steve Mason, Milo Greene and DIIV joining the festival line-up over 12th – 14th July.

Festival organisers have also revealed today which days each act is playing, with the weekend of the year fast taking shape.

Travis are huge favourites with the T in the Park crowd, and their previous performances (including 2 showstopping headline sets) are widely regarded as some of the greatest moments of the festival’s 20 year history. After the top 10 success of their debut album Good Feeling, they achieved global success with the seminal, 9 x platinum-selling follow-up The Man Who, which hit the top of the UK album charts. Their much loved back catalogue is packed with classic hits, which have earned them BRIT Awards for Best Album (The Man Who), Best British Group (2000 and 2002) and Ivor Novellos for Best Contemporary Song (Why Does it Always Rain on Me?) and Best Songwriter (Fran Healy). After a temporary hiatus, they make their much anticipated return with their 7th album later this year and are sure to receive a hero’s welcome when they make a long-awaited return to the festival in July.

Manchester Electro-pop duo Hurts were hailed by the BBC’s Sound of 2010 as ones to watch and since then have gone on to achieve global success. Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson have released two critically acclaimed albums, Happiness (2010) and Exile (2013) packed with melancholic 1980s-inspired electro-pop gems, and were a huge hit with the crowd when they played T in the Park in 2010 and 2011, and are set to make a welcome return this July.

Recently crowned NME’s Godlike Genius, Smiths legend Johnny Marr is also heading to Kinross for T in the Park’s 20th year celebrations. As one half of one of the most influential British songwriting partnerships of all time, he challenged pop conventions with The Smiths’ giant, euphoric tunes, and his 30 year career has seen him perform with groups including The Cribs and Modest Mouse. Revered by music fans and critics alike, he has been bestowed with Q Magazine’s lifetime achievement award, Mojo’s Classic Songwriter Award, the Ivor Novello Inspiration Award, and of course, Godlike Genius by NME.

On his first solo-adventure since The Coral’s hiatus, James Skelly has enlisted the help of The Intenders and is due to release debut album Love Undercover this summer. The Coral have been a big favourite of T in the Parkers in years gone by, and their frontman is sure to thrill fans when he reprises some of their greatest hits in Kinross this July, as well as showcasing his new material.

English-Italian singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti released his third album Before the Storm last year to a raft of rave reviews. His catchy guitar tunes are sure to go down a storm with the T in the Park crowd when he makes his debut in Kinross this July.

US singer-songwriter Willy Mason’s debut album Where the Humans Eat, which featured the classic Oxygen, won him major critical acclaim and a legion of fans. Having recently toured with T in the Park headliners Mumford and Sons, he released his third studio album Carry On in December and is set to play the festival’s 20th year celebrations this July.

Northern Irish singer-songwriter Foy Vance made a big impression with his 2012 release The Melrose EP, and is set to follow it up with his new album Joy of Nothing this summer. Celebrated for his thought-provoking, powerful lyrics and spine-tingling vocals, he’s been hailed as one of the finest song-writers to emerge from Northern Ireland in recent years.

Fife-born Steve Mason, formerly of The Beta Band is now a solo artist in his own right, with his 2013 release Monkey Minds in the Devil's Time winning critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian. It’s sure to be a special moment when he plays on home soil with his solo debut at T in the Park this July.

Also announced today are LA pop-outfit Milo Green, who bring their harmony-drenched, folk-tinged pop to Kinross. Describing their sound as cinematic-pop, they released their self-titled debut album earlier this year. 

DIIV created instant vibrations in the blog-world with their impressionistic debut EP Sometime. With Zachary Cole Smith at the helm, the Brooklyn four-piece’s debut album Oshin blends classic kraut, Creation-records psychedelia, and late-80s Seattle influences to great effect.

Festival Director Geoff Ellis said: “Travis have given us some epic performances at T in the Park over the past 20 years, including at our very first outing back in 1994 and incredible headline sets in 2000 and in 2005. They’ve been there since day 1, and it really does feel like they are part of the fabric of T in the Park. We’re absolutely thrilled that they’ll be joining us for our 20th year celebrations – it wouldn’t have felt quite right without them. They’re one of Scotland’s all-time greats with some massive tunes, and the sound of 85,000 voices singing along to their greatest hits in Kinross this July will be quite a poignant moment.

“Johnny Marr is a true legend and we’re honoured that he’ll be joining us for our 20th year celebrations, alongside all the other great acts announced today. It’s going to be a great weekend.”


Over 85,000 festival-goers per day will descend on Kinross over 12th – 14th July for the 20th year of T in the Park, which will feature performances by some of the hottest acts on the planet, including headliners Mumford and Sons, Rihanna and The Killers, plus Stereophonics, Calvin Harris, Kraftwerk, Frank Ocean, Snoop Dogg, Foals, alt-J, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Two Door Cinema Club, Phoenix, Jake Bugg, The Lumineers, Frightened Rabbit. My Bloody Valentine, Twin Atlantic, The View plus many more still to be announced.

Mixed by Steve Booker (who has previously produced and co-written for the Brit/Grammy Award winning Duffy) alongside engineer Smit, Not Worthy is one of the more upbeat songs featured on the album; containing a self-deprecating message. “It's about looking at yourself in the mirror and laughing at what an idiot you are!” JACK SAVORETTI

 
2012 was a busy year for Jack, following a successful UK tour, singing with Sienna Miller and festival appearances with none other than the legendry Bruce Springsteen. Jack also took to the road with his band The Dirty Romantics prior to his performance with Jools Holland at The Royal Albert Hall at the end of the year.

Produced by the hugely sought after Martin Terefe and The Suppliers (Mary J Blige, James Morrison and Jason Mraz) Before The Storm has already received massive support from The Independent, Q and UNCUT along with BBC Radio 2 play-listing Breaking The Rules, Knock Knock and Take Me Home.

Jack Savoretti tours with Jake Bugg (Europe) and Jools Holland

Changes is the stunning fourth single taken from Jack Savoretti’s Top 5 Indie Album Breakers Chart release Before The Storm, due for release on December 17, 2012.

Changes is one of the more poignant songs featured on the album; A beautiful soaring piano ballad, complete with strings, showcasing Jacks dulcet tones to the fullest. “It’s more reflective and autobiographical, trying to explain the unexplainable and to give comfort along the way” JACK SAVORETTI

2012 has so far been a busy year for Jack, following a successful UK tour, singing with Sienna Miller, festival appearances with non other than the legendry Bruce Sprinsteen, with the rest of the year looking just as impressive! Jack will take to the road this October with his band The Dirty Romantics (Full tour dates below) prior to his performance with Jools Holland at The Royal Albert Hall at the end of the year as well as providing support for Jake Bugg on his European tour in November.

Following on from the success of the ‘Take Me Home’ cover competition, which saw winner Rebecca Clements play to a sold out Bush Hall in London, Jack Savoretti is holding yet another competition for upcoming musicians in the run up to his Breaking The Rules UK tour this October/ November. Jack will pick his favourite video uploaded to his Facebook page. The winner will be invited to open for Jack at his Scala gig in London on 6th November. The Scala is one of London’s premiere live music venues, this promises to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for rising talent.

Produced by the hugely sought after Martin Terefe and The Suppliers (Mary J Blige, James Morrison and Jason Mraz) this studio album has already received massive support from The Guardian, Independent, Gay Times and Daily Star along with BBC Radio 2 play-listing Knock Knock and Take Me Home. Further afield Jack’s duet with Sienna Miller Hate & Love has also been used in The Vampire Diaries.

While his writing has always surpassed expectation, this new collection of songs sees an artist coming of age. Lyrically it remains a quintessential Jack Savoretti album, yet the recordings are far more diverse than ever before. With the romantic introspective poetry ever present, there is someone new, a darker, more experienced vocalist asking no longer for acceptance but looking for the good times and on his own terms.

Breaking the Rules is the second single taken from Jack Savoretti’s Top 5 Indie Album Breakers Chart release Before The Storm coinciding with his Autumn UK tour starting in October and ending the year performing with Jools Holland at the Royal Albert Hall.

“My new single Breaking The Rules is probably the first song I've written where I'm talking about what I do instead of how I feel. It's about doing things on your own terms... and that's what touring is really about."

Taking to the road with his band The Dirty Romantics, Jack has already toured the UK and Ireland throughout spring along with enjoying a summer of festivals including playing with Bruce Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling and boutique festival Wilderness captivating audiences wherever he goes.

"The last tour was far too short... Just when we and the fans were really getting into it we had to come home. There's nothing worse than getting into a tour and coming home... This time around we will be out for longer, playing to more people and in places I've never been before.”

Produced by the hugely sought after Martin Terefe and The Suppliers (Mary J Blige, James Morrison and Jason Mraz) this third studio album has already received massive support from The Guardian, Independent, Gay Times and Daily Star along with BBC Radio 2 playlisting Knock Knock and Take Me Home. Further afield Jack’s duet with Sienna Miller Hate & Love has also been used in The Vampire Diaries.

Impact Date 04^th June 2012 

Since re-emerging on the live scene at the beginning of last year, acclaimed singer songwriter Jack Savoretti has been showcasing material from his new album Before The Storm this time joined on stage by his band The Dirty Romantics and captivating audiences wherever he goes.

Written with, amongst others, long time collaborator Steve Booker (co-writer of Duffy’s ‘Mercy’) and produced by the hugely sought after Martin Terefe and The Suppliers (Mary J Blige, James Morrison and Jason Mraz) this third studio album has already been getting support from BBC Radio 2, playlisting track Knock Knock, along with his duet with Sienna Miller Hate & Love used in The Vampire Diaries.

While his writing has always surpassed expectation, this new collection of songs sees an artist coming of age. Lyrically it remains a quintessential Jack Savoretti album, yet the recordings are far more diverse than ever before. With the romantic introspective poetry ever present, there is someone new, a darker, more experienced vocalist asking no longer for acceptance but looking for the good times and on his own terms.

It all began with his critically acclaimed debut ‘Between The Minds’ in 2006. Named BBC Radio 2’s Album Of The Week, three album tracks aired on ‘One Tree Hill’ and Jo Whiley called him ‘one to watch.’ Jack has been collecting critical praise ever since: Janice Long called him ‘astonishing in every way’ and The Daily Telegraph’s Neil McCormick described his voice as ‘raw, soulful and yearning…a voice that sounds like the truth’. 2012 sees Jack supporting Madison Violet in Germany, an early summer tour of the UK and festivals dates confirmed across the UK and Europe.
