T in the Park 2014 will have a real homegrown flavour after Biffy Clyro and Calvin Harris were announced as headliners.
They join fellow Scot Paolo Nutini, who was announced on Monday, making it three out of the four main acts for Scotland along with Sheffield stars Arctic Monkeys.
Festival organisers DF Concerts and founding partner Tennent’s Lager announced a host of other stars for the festival as T in the Park celebrates its 21st birthday.
Homegrown heroes Biffy Clyro (Friday) and Calvin Harris (Sat) will close the main stage at the July festival for the very first time, becoming the first Scottish acts to do so in 13 years with what will be their biggest-ever shows on home soil.

“We wouldn’t be here doing this just now if it wasn’t for playing T in the Park. To headline it finally is amazing it just feels poetic to do it our 10th time.
“It’s going to be the night of our lives hopefully it’ll be the night of your life and we can’t wait.”
