The Charlatans, Reverend and the Makers, Drenge, Circa Waves and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers have been added to this summer’s T in the Park line-up.

The Charlatans have been an inspirational force in British rock for more than two decades. They remain as exciting and relevant now as when they first broke through to the immortal strains of ‘The Only One I Know’ in 1990.

They first played T in the Park back in 1995, have been firm favourites with festival fans throughout the festival’s history and are sure to receive a warm welcome back when they return for the first time since 2008.

Reverend & The Makers were at the forefront of the resurgent Sheffield indie-rock scene in 2005/2006, smashing into the top ten with their debut single Heavyweight Champion of the World.

The band’s appearances as part of the bill for Oasis’ now legendary final shows at Wembley Stadium bolstered their growing fanbase. They returned early this year with the release of their fourth album ‘ThirtyTwo’.

Their recent gig at PJ Molloys ended with frontman Jon McClure out in the street singing to 300 fans.

Circa Waves and Drenge are other bands who have impressed during gigs at PJs over the past year.

Drenge - aka brothers Rory and Eoin Loveless – will bring their raw grunge-inspired blues pop sound to the festival for the first time. Liverpool indie-pop four-piece Circa Waves recently went down a storm at the NME Awards Tour 2014.

Since they walked away with the top prize on UK primetime TV talent show, ‘When Will I Be Famous’ in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers have fast become a global phenomenon, with their cover of Avicii’s 'Wake Me Up' surpassing one million YouTube views, and taking their signature ‘Bagrock’ sound to the masses.

The band said, “In 2004 we performed one song at T in the Park as special guests of The Darkness. For the past 10 years we have been working towards our ultimate ambition of coming back to T in our own right.

“There are just not enough words to describe how thrilled and honoured we are at being asked to play the Main Stage in 2014. Bringing our special brand of ‘Bagrock’ to this world famous festival with a home crowd - it just doesn’t get any better!”
