Tickets for the 20th year of the award-winning T in the Park music festival go on sale this week.

The event, named international music festival of the year, has announced a bumper programme of eclectic music acts to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Headliners for the main stage this year are Mumford & Sons, Rihanna and The Killers.

The weekend also includes The Script, Chase & Status, Deacon Blue, Dizzee Rascal, Editors, Ocean Colour Scene, Stereophonics and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Homegrown talent also features strongly on this year's line-up, with Emeli Sande, The Fratellis, Frightened Rabbit, Nina Nesbitt, The Proclaimers, Twin Atlantic, The View and CHVRCHES, who are tipped to be rising stars of 2013.
