Got all that? Good. George Kyle of festival sponsors Tennent's Lager said:
"Triptych's characteristic amalgam of global icons, sonic iconoclasts and avid, auspicious local talent proliferates apace this year; as many of contemporary music’s most extraordinary artists - from round the corner and round the world - revel in Scotland for five heady days and nights. Triptych 06 looks set to be the most arresting yet."
