Scotland’s biggest annual music festival, which pulls a crowd of over 85,000 people each day over three days, has announced its new home at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire.
Last year saw the 20 year anniversary of T in the Park, which has grown over the years to become the fifth largest greenfield festival in the world. News today has revealed that this year will be the last that the festival will be held at the abandoned Balado airfield in Kinross.
This comes after news earlier this year of health and safety officials being concerned about a gas pipeline which had been situated underneath the main stage. T in the park has been resident at Balado for 18 years but organisers are excited to see it moved to the picturesque Strathallan Castle which is situated around 18 miles away from abandoned airfield.
For those attending the up-and-coming Kelburn Garden Party next week will enjoy a festival which is overlooked by the stunning Kelburn Castle, something which the attendees of next year’s T In The Park can look forward to with the majestic Strathallan Castle being a new focal point for the festival.
This year hopes to pull another staggering audience with artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro, Jake Bugg, Calvin Harris, Paolo Nutini, Manic Street Preachers and many others to play for the last time in the green pastures of Balado field.
We hope Strathallan Castle provides unique home for the festival, and look forward to seeing the castle shine above the thousands of fans who flock to get down and dirty amidst the mayhem at T in the Park every year.
