Kasabian will headline next year's T in the Park festival in Scotland, it's been announced.

The band will top the bill on the main stage at the event, which runs from July 9-11, 2010.

Frontman Tom Meighan said: “T in the Park holds a special place in our hearts, we've always said how much we'd love to headline it and now we are.

“We can't wait, we're going to play a blinder and it's going to be massive for us and for the crowd.”

A limited number of tickets for next year's festival go on sale on Friday (December 4) at 9am.
