T In The Park On Sale Monday & Iow Details


DB in Glasgow, shortly after announcing he will play T in the Park 2004.

While you played T-time tunes…

As mentioned in yesterday’s news piece, David Bowie will be playing next year’s T in the Park (Scotland’s biggest music festival) at Balado in Perth and Kinross. The event takes place on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th of July, 2004.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning (Monday December 1st) at 9:00am UK time, and they can be purchased through Ticketmaster by calling 0870 169 0100, or online by going here. David will be playing on Saturday July 10th, but, I believe tickets are only available for the whole weekend anyway.

The return of the Thin Wight Duke…

We can confirm that David will also headline the Isle of Wight Festival that takes place the weekend of 11th to 13th June 2004. David will play on Sunday June 13th.

David is reported to have said he has longed to play the legendary event which was revived in 2002. The festival was originally held each summer from 1968 to 1970, and hosted performances by The Who, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors.

David said of the festival: “I was so envious of other acts that got to do the other Isle of Wight Festivals – it is really coming back. This is the very first time I have been to the Isle of Wight Festival. Obviously I’ve been to the Isle of Wight, it’s a fabulous place – I used to go there on holiday when I was a kid. I jumped at it, it is a smashing thing to do.”

I can also tell you that there will be a discount for BowieNetters when the tickets do go on sale. Stay tuned for more shortly.
