Entertainment

Edinburgh club venue Cabaret Voltaire will be in charge of the Boombus at T in the Park, manning the decks with a selection of top-notch DJ talent to keep the party going from Thursday through to Sunday until the wee small hours.

A converted double-decker that has undergone a radical makeover and respray, the Boombus is kitted out with a pounding sound system and dazzling lighting rig, plus those all-important decks. When it's pumping out at full power, it transforms its surroundings into an al fresco club and provides the perfect solution for after-hours entertainment for TITP revellers.

Among the DJs that will be hitting the ones and twos at Boombus will representatives from an array of Cab's regular club nights Trade Union, Sick Note, Karnival, We Are Electric, Split, Proper Old Skool, Killer Kitsch, Tokyoblu and Sugarbeat. Together, they'll cover all genres and style of dance music. Don't be surprised to see some cheeky special guests crop up too.

Cabaret Voltaire is Edinburgh's leading underground club, with a reputation that spreads far beyond the city boundaries, underground literally as well as musically - it's a subterranean venue situated deep beneath the capital's bustling streets – and it ho’msts some of the most progressive and forward-thinking club nights you'll find anywhere in Scotland. From house to breaks and from hip-hop to indie-electro, Cab serves it all up, 365 days a year. You can confidently rely on them to deliver the goods at T in the Park.

Surprising, surreal and just a little bit silly, welcome to the weird world of silent disco once again. Developed in the Netherlands, and now legendary at T in the Park, the concept involves 2 DJ’s, numerous sets of wireless headphones and a certain lack of shame, as clubbers dance the night away on a quiet dance floor, whilst choosing to flick a button on their headset between two competing DJ’s. If you are not up for participating, come spectate – it’s just as hilarious!

Djing at T in the Park will be DJ Stephen Guts and DJ Tony Carlos.
