T In The Park will not be a part of the British festival season in 2017.
Since moving to Strathallan Castle in 2015, the festival has been beset by numerous issues – primarily logistical and then in some cases of a much more serious nature this year.
And in a long statement released today – which can be read in full here and leaves no guarantees for the future – organisers have pointed to those ‘challenges’ since the move ‘against their will’ from Balado.
“To the best audience in the world. For over 23 years, T in the Park has been at the heart of Scotland’s music scene – with you, by our side. But for now, sadly, we need to take a break,” it starts.
“We launched T in the Park with one aim: to give Scottish music fans an unforgettable weekend with their friends enjoying the best acts from around the globe. And to say we achieved this together is an understatement. T in the Park has become one of the best known, biggest and most loved festivals in the world. When we launched back in 1994 there were only two music festivals in the UK – now there are many and T in the Park paved the way for all that have come and gone in Scotland since.”
