The final day of T In The Park is basking in sunshine, with The View playing a storming Main Stage set.
After a day and a half of torrential rain, revellers at this year's T In The Park are finally enjoying some sun. Sunday opened with stormy weather, before the clouds parted and the mud began to dry.
Delta Maid and Frank Turner attracts devoted fans to the Radio 1 stage, but the main body of the crowd follows The Stranglers to the Main Stage. The punk survivors may be a little grey on top but their organ led sound still has fists pumping in the air.
Sure, 'Peaches' may be un-PC nonsense shouted over a cool as ice bass line, but the raunchy fun of 'Nice N Sleazy' has fans dancing in the mud. Just enough time for 'Golden Brown' before the veterans depart.
Newcomers Kassidy take the King Tuts tent by surprise. Spread across the stage, each of their four members could take lead vocals. A hugely talented group, their retro sound recalls early 70s greats such as CSN&Y but with a modern twist.
Think The Dead Weather in a rare acoustic session and you'd not be far off. Winning plenty of fans with their short set, the four piece could well be a name to drop in the future.
Over on the Main Stage, Dundee's own The View bring an enormous army of fans. Across the bill, The View are perhaps the one band you could imagine owning a ticket to the event if they weren't actually on the bill.
Greeted as long departed friends, the band blast through a mixture of old and new. Dropping two unheard tracks into the set, it's clear that The View's forthcoming third album could well demolish the odd indie disco or two.
Accompanied by the usual pint throwing tomfoolery, the band have the time of their lives, clearly relishing every moment. Leaving the stage with a cursory wave to the crowd, The View set alight the final day of T In The Park.

Broken Social Scene help kick off T In The Park day two
Canadian collective play afternoon set in King Tut's Wah Wah tent
Broken Social Scene helped kick of the second day of the T In The Park festival this afternoon (July 10), playing in the King Tut's Wah Wah Tent.
The Canadian collective played in front of a large crowd – possibly bulked by a large number of fans seeking shelter from the rain as conditions got muddy and damp on the Balado site.
The band, fronted by Kevin Drew and playing with between six and eight members on various songs throughout the set, played songs from their recent album 'Forgiveness Rock Record' plus older numbers.
"It's a beautiful day!" joked Drew before 'Texaco Bitches', later introducing 'Forced To Love' as a song about "how things are pushed on us in the modern world."

Muse close Day 1 of T in the Park

Stadium prog giants Muse have closed the first day of Scotland's epic T In The Park.
As the sun sets on T In The Park the sky turns a glorious shade of red. After a day of unexpected good weather, perhaps the omens are good for another day of settled sunshine and relatively warm temperatures.
Delphic play a storming set at the Red Bull Futures Stage. With their debut album causing all kinds of critical bother, it's a relief to find the band coming to life onstage. Merging techno production with rock oblivion the band's pulsating beats have the tent in uproar.
Over in King Tuts, Hot Chip emerge to a hero's welcome. Mixing hit singles with lesser known album tracks, the Hoxton geek-chic outfit manage to create a party atmosphere in the cavernous arena.
Playing an extended version of 'Over And Over' the band seem to get the PA a little over excited. A sudden crack, then it was, actually, over. Engineers rushed onstage, as the band disappeared to cheers, then a slow clap, then booing.
After a fifteen minute break the band re-appeared, with Hot Chip graciously allowed time to extend their set to placate fans.

Epic Londoners Editors have turned up the volume at this year's T In The Park.
The clouds are gathering but for now fans are basking in sunshine at the latest instalment of T In The Park. The main arena is beginning to fill as the 85,000 begin to explore the bigger-than-ever festival site.
Australian group The Temper Trap entertain the crowd on the Radio 1 stage, playing hits from their slow burner debut album. The band made their name through heavy touring and its clear to see how they achieved this with a near faultless festival show.
