”With back to back ‘Best Major Festival’ awards bagged in 2005 and 2006, T in the Park extended into a three day affair last year attracting 80,000 revellers to Balado, Kinross-shire, and are once again expanding with more stages and bands on the Friday.

Organisers are celebrating the event’s 15th birthday this year so expect a few surprises along with the usual host of national and international superstars that grace the bill.

Scotland’s biggest festival is renowned for integrating a wide selection of genres and it even includes a traditional ceilidh dancing tent. Rock and pop’s biggest names sit side-by-side with world-class DJs, hip hop masters, dance supremos and local talent that’s given the chance to shine on the T-Break stage.

The party-loving Scottish crowd creates an unbelievable atmosphere but festival fans better be quick if they want to go because ‘early bird’ tickets have already been snapped up in record time.”
