Bowie For T In The Park 2009

Singer, dancer, actor, producer and all round good egg David Bowie is being trailed by T In The Park organisers to headline next year’s festival.

Organiser of the Scottish jaunt Geoff Ellis has said that Bowie would be his dream headliner after the star had to cancel his appearance at the 2004 festival due to a shoulder injury.

Ellis said: “It feels like we’ve unfinished business.”

The Darkness replaced Bowie as headliners at the festival four years ago.

Fans keen to buy tickets for next year’s musical outing can get ‘Early Bird’ tickets at 2008 prices from the festival’s website.

It will be held in Balado, Kinross between July 10 and 12.
