T in the Park 2010 was a music festival that took place in Balado, Scotland from 8–11 July 2010. It was the seventeenth event to take place. The festival was headlined by Kasabian, Muse and Eminem. Tickets for the event sold out on 26 February 2010.
The 2010 festival was marred by the death of a reveller, as well as various anti-social and violent behaviour including two attempted murders and a sexual assault. In an article on that year's event, an MTV reporter wrote: "Frankly I wouldn't go through there [T in the Park] unless I had a tank."
Similar to previous years, early-bird tickets were released within two days of the conclusion of the 2009 event, on 14 July 2009. Tickets remained on sale until the following Sunday. The line-up was billed to include 180 artists across eleven stages. A further 'Christmas sale' took place from 4 December 2009, with tickets made available at 2009 festival ticket prices.
Full-price tickets went on sale on 26 February 2010, selling out the same morning for the first time. The festival's campsite area is set to expand by 5,000, despite no increase in overall capacity. The campsite area is also scheduled to open from the Thursday prior to the event, to reduce traffic congestion travelling towards the festival. A final batch of tickets were made available for sale on 4 June, selling out in under five hours.
In an interview with the Perthshire Advertiser on 8 September 2009, Matthew Bellamy of Muse spoke of playing the festival in 2010, saying "I'm sure we’ll be trying to get something, maybe T in the Park or maybe something else". During the same month in an interview with the Daily Record, Kasabian would also say they wanted to headline the festival. The band expressed further interest in playing during a performance at Glasgow's SECC on 12 November 2009. Kasabian were confirmed as the first headliner of the festival on 3 December 2009.
