T in the Park 2003 was a music festival that took place on 12–13 July 2003 in Kinross, Scotland. It was the 10th anniversary of the festival. 55,000 people attended the concert, an increase of 5,000 from the previous year.[1] Headlining acts were R.E.M., The Flaming Lips and Coldplay. The White Stripes had been scheduled to perform as well, but they backed out at the last minute due to Jack White breaking his finger and were covered by the Flaming Lips.[2]
Jack McConnell attended for the first time and said, "It's great to see so many young people enjoying themselves and the festival is very valuable to both the locals and the national economy. It also offers a great opportunity to showcase the Scottish music industry and symbolizes the modern Scotland that we want to portray."[3]
Tayside Police said there were 24 arrests for minor offences and praised the crowd for their good behaviour over the three days.
Tickets
