Welcome to the Under the Radar T in the Park live blog thingy! Myself, Billy and Jodi will be at the festival on Saturday and Sunday, and you can follow all our updates from Balado here.
We're ignoring the satnav, confident that we can find T in the park without it. Pre-festival gigs definitely not advisable though
We're off to titp, we have a full tank of gas, it's sunny, and, er, we're wearing sunglasses.
Sunny skies in edinburgh. Looks like it's gonna keep up for balado today. Phew...
Ok we have arrived - it's hot but the clouds linger ominously.
We're just getting ourselves set up in the media tent. Nick and his video camera needed an escort into the festival...
Secured internet spot at TITP, no easy feat. Ready to roll
Running order, anyone?
Mumford and sons are a bit braw. Big blasts of organic instruments and folky melodies. Think fleet foxes without the brian Wilson delusions
Just been to see mumford and son. Very pleasantly surprised. Folk meets blissful noise.
Waiting on M83, the band not the motorway, at a rather empty king tut's tent.
Apparently the horrors have cancelled, singer is 'sick'.
Calvin Harris: hilariously dire. Sub par 80s-tronica and idiotic stage banter does not a good show make
M83 are the synth act du jour. Sleek 80s electro to wake up the T campers.
The horrors in TITP no show. Too much sun for their goth rock-schlock?
Calvin Harris looks almost as bored as the crowd. Thank Christ he's nearly done.
The French quarter deserve to be so much bigger than they are. This is sublime stuff at tuts stage
Rumors of the French quarter's demise have been greatly exagerated. T break tent pretty packed
The French quarter were superb. Grabbed a cheeky interview with Ryan from the band
The waft of illicit substances is heavy in the air at the NME stage. Small crowd for youmeatsix.
A mini circle pit has formed at sucioperro. They're the most intense band I've seen so far today.
Dinosaur pile up. Yay or nay?
Has anyone ever seen The Law and Babyshambles in the same room?
This is tempting fate but it hasn't rained and the skies are getting clearer.
Unicorn kid is the sonic equivalent of a first gen nintendo on amphetimines wearing a fox hat. Needless to say it's pretty good
Dinosaur pile up are entertaining enough, in a mindless kind of way. Least they're not starsailor.
Chilling out in the media village. Just interviewed trapped in Kansas. Off to see katy perry in a bit!
Young fathers: ebullient dance routines; old skool beats; falsetto choruses Brilliant. Just brilliant
Foals in king tut's. Audience not quite the Skins audition demographic I was cynically expecting.
Video interview: Orange Unsigned Act winner Tommy Reilly
http://bit.ly/yO9kQThe specials.phewee... Amazing
Yannis from Foals goes walkies through crowd during last song. With an apparently wireless guitar.
Phone coverage at T is patchy, tweets getting lost and messages bouncing. Specials are great, katy perry not so much
Broken records really come alive on stage. Beautifully atmospheric.
Bloody hell,
@brontorawks are loud! Awesome too.
Bronto take the guitar into the crowd, cable and all. Stewards freak.
Catching a bit of Trapped in Kansas, then some grub before NIN.
Heresy and march of the pigs. This is awesome.
finished work and about to see first band at titp
Broken records look determined; Sound immense. Best live Scottish band here? Perhaps...
Acid infused chaos @ of montreal.best costumes of the day by far
That set was way too short but utterly flawless
If I make it off this bus without the drunk woman sitting next to me being sick on me, it will be a major success.
Apologies if all the T spam is annoying by the way. Covering it for
@under_the_radar and were collating our tweets for a live microblog :)
Drunk woman has fallen asleep on me. What do I do? I must have missed that class at journalism skool
