Winehouse to sing at T in the Park

Amy Winehouse has been confirmed to appear at this year's T in the Park festival.

The singer pulled out of last year's event due to exhaustion, but plans to make up for her absence by playing the main stage at this year's bash.

Organiser Geoff Ellis told the Daily Record: "Amy said, 'I still feel bad about last year and would love to play'. I'm so pleased she is coming to T.

"Her Grammys win and performance at the Brits shows she's back."

Ellis claimed that the Scottish public's reaction to Winehouse's shows in Glasgow at the end of last year was one of the main reasons behind her booking.

He commented: "We didn't want to put pressure on Amy but she felt really bad about pulling out and, if ever she needed reassurance about how the Scottish public felt about her, playing those two nights at the Barrowland really slammed it home.

"She hadn't had a good night in Birmingham when she opened her tour but as soon as she walked onstage in Scotland the reaction was phenomenal. They gave her such a warm welcome that she gave two great shows."

T in the Park takes place on July 11-13 in Balado. Tickets are all sold out. Winehouse will play underneath Kings of Leon and REM on Sunday, July 13.

Other acts confirmed for the event include Rage Against The Machine, Stereophonics, The Verve, The Wombats, REM, The Fratellis, The Kooks, Kaiser Chiefs and Panic at the Disco.
