T in the Park ‘unlikely’ for next year

The T in the Park music festival is “not looking likely” to return next year, its organiser has said.

Geoff Ellis said no decision has been taken on the longterm future of the festival and that they are focusing on their other events such as TRNSMT.

The three-day non-camping festival, held in Glasgow last weekend, was created after it was announced T In The Park was to “take a break” this year as organisers look to resolve issues around its recent move to the Strathallan Castle estate in Perth and Kinross.

Organisers DF Concerts & Events said more than 120,000 people attended TRNSMT, which featured headline performances from Radiohead, Kasabian and Biffy Clyro.

Festival chiefs have already announced TRNSMT will return next year, but no decisions have yet been taken about the older festival.

Mr Ellis told BBC Radio Scotland: “We want to come back with a camping event but it’s not looking likely for 2018.”
