The Libertines to headline T in the Park

The Libertines are the first headliner confirmed for this year's T in the Park.

The reformed indie act will take to the main stage at the event at its new home at Strathallan Castle over July 10-12.

Promoter Geoff Ellis commented: "The Libertines are a truly iconic British band, revered as cult heroes by a generation of music fans and adored by the Scottish crowd.

"They chose Scotland as the destination for their live return on home soil last June, and raised the roof of the Barrowlands with two exhilarating shows.

"We can't wait to welcome them back in what is a historic year for T in the Park, as we take up residency at our beautiful new home, Strathallan Castle. It's going to be a very special year for T in the Park, and we can't wait to welcome you all to Strathallan."

The Libertines last played T in the Park in 2004.

Tickets for the Scottish festival will go on sale from February 27.
