Arctic Monkeys have been confirmed as the first headliners at next year's T In The Park, taking place on 11-13 July, 2014.
The headline slot is the band's first confirmed UK festival slot of 2014, following their triumphant headline gig at Glastonbury 2013. Speaking of their book at T, Arctic Monkeys said in a statement: “We are delighted to be playing T in the Park and look forward to a great night with our Scottish fans.”
Speaking of their impressive headline booking, Geoff Ellis (the festival director) says: “We’re thrilled to announce Arctic Monkeys as our first headliners for T in the Park 2014. After this year’s fantastic 20th year celebrations, we asked our audience who they’d like to see at next year’s festival and Arctic Monkeys came top of the poll, so we’re really pleased to be able to confirm them for T in the Park.
"When they take to the stage in Glasgow this week they’ll prove exactly why they’re one of the greatest live acts around, and I’m sure we can look forward to another phenomenal set at T in the Park. We have many more fantastic acts in store which we’ll announce next year, and can’t wait to see you all again in July."
The AM band have also been confirmed to headline Portugal's Optimus Alive festival, and recently announced their own headline shows in London's Finsbury Park next summer.
