Scotland will get its summer festival fix in lieu of T In The Park afterall.
A new event, entitled TRNSMT, is scheduled for Glasgow Green between July 7th-9th, though the details at the moment start and end there.
T In The Park had struggled in major and minor ways since its enforced move from long-term home Balado to Strathallan Castle in 2015, and organisers eventually revealed they had given up the ghost for 2017 in a statement last November.
“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 started.
“However, the last couple of years have had their challenges. Against our will, and despite a prolonged fight, we were forced to move from Balado, Kinross in 2015. This move was a mammoth task for the event and one that was compounded by a series of onerous site restrictions placed upon us as preparations for the event in 2015 took place.”
