TRNSMT Festival 2017 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Organiser Geoff Ellis has said it is ‘unlikely’ that T In The Park will return in 2018, reports The Scotsman.
Ellis told BBC Scotland the festival’s long-term future remains in doubt, but again spoke of the possibility of it returning as an over-18s only event at some point.
Since T In The Park’s move from its Balado home in 2015, Scotland’s biggest annual music festival had been suffering with various problems before it was eventually cancelled this year. In its place came TRNSMT, an event Ellis in contrast recently described as ‘a dream come true’.
“It went better than we could have expected for the first year,” he told BBC Newsbeat. “To see 120,000 people through the gates over the weekend over three days is phenomenal.”
“Friday personally for me musically was great; London Grammar and Radiohead were brilliant. Saturday the weather was glorious and we were at capacity.”
“Kasabian was an amazing headline act, Stormzy blew it out the park and Catfish and the Bottlemen had a massive crowd. Overall it has all been fantastic. King Tuts stage and the JD tent were good too – it’s not all about the main stage.”
