"We've played lots of gigs around Scotland so we know just how energetic the Scottish audiences can be but the T in the Park crowd is certainly something special. "As an all female group, it's great we'll be sharing the stage with male legends such as REM and Rage Against the Machine. Around 180 acts will be performing on 11 stages between July 11 and 13 including Counting Crows, Lightspeed Champion, Primal Scream, Kings Of Leon, Ian Brown, Hot Chip and Kooks. KT Tunstall and Stereophonics have also been confirmed to play as well as The Kaiser Chiefs and The Chemical Brothers.
