CRAIG DAVID HEADS TO T IN THE PARK

COMEBACK king Craig David can't wait to appear at  Scotland's T in the Park fifteen years after he last played the SECC in Glasgow.
Slicker Than Average hitmaker Craig, who has been working with  Big Narstie and teasing us about a possible mixtape with Drake of late, made a big name for himself at the start of  the noughties with hits like Fill Me In and 7 Days.
After performing on the latest series of The x Factor, and recently inking a new deal with Insanity Records he's ready to perform again for his Scottish fans at Strathallan Park this summer with a taste of his TS5 show.
TS5 began as an  exclusive pre party in his Miami Penthouse known as Tower Suite 5 and it proved to be so successful Craig turned it into a radio show before selling out to crowds around the world.
He's sure to impress the T partiers on the Sunday with some old skool anthems mixed with current chart topping house.
He'll be joining headliners including the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Calvin Harris, the Stone Roses, and talents like Bastille, Faithless, Travis, Jess Glynne, Tinie Tempah, Frightened Rabbit, Jake Bugg, The 1975 and James Morrison at the fest which takes place from July 8 -10. 
James Morrison who also recently returned to the fore with new album Higher Than Here said of the fest: "I've played T in the Park only a few times but it's always wicked, the crowds are amazing with massive energy! Last time I sang a lot harder because of it and this time is going to be no different. I'm ready to give back the same. Can't wait, see you soon T in the Park."
Tickets for T in The Park are on sale now from www.tinthepark.com
