T in the Park 2011 has sold out in under an hour. Tickets for the Scottish festival went on sale at 9AM On Friday, Feb. 25, and by 10AM all had been snapped up.

Headliners at this year's event, which has a capacity of 85,000, include Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters and Coldplay. Other big names appearing are My Chemical Romance, Pulp, Manic Street Preachers and Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye.

Arctic Monkeys are rumoured to be working on the follow-up to 2009's 'Humbug,' with a view to a possible summer release. Foo Fighters, meanwhile, release their seventh album, 'Wasting Light,' at the beginning of April.

The Oxegen festival takes place on the same weekend as T in the Park. As in previous years, the two events have similar line-ups; Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters also play the Irish event.

With demand for T in the Park tickets high, fans may be tempted to buy from touts. However, the T In The Park website warns people not to buy from unofficial outlets.

T in the Park takes place in Balado, Scotland on 8 to 10 July.
