T In The Park

T in the Park Festival is a major Scottish music festival that has been held annually since 1994. It is named after its main sponsor, the brewing company Tennents. It was originally held at Strathclyde Park, Lanarkshire but since 1997 has been held at a disused airfield in Balado, Kinross-shire. T in the Park was originally a two-day festival but since 2007 has taken place over three days, and introduced in 2008 was the chance to upgrade a weekend camping ticket to allow camping access on the Thursday - the day before any musicians perform. The festival is promoted by DF Concerts.

As well as the seven main music stages, there are large camping areas to cater for the majority of festival-goers who stay for the duration of the event. There are also various concession stalls and shops provided, as well as other attractions, such as a large funfair, complete with Big Wheel.

The 2012 festival took place on 6–8 July 2012. Snow Patrol, The Stone Roses, and Kasabian were the headliners.

The 2013 festival will take place on 11-14 July 2013. It will be the 20th Anniversary #T20.

    and the words never said,
    And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.

    And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.
