T in the Park moves to a new home next year

Organisers have announced, (here), that T in the Park will be moving to a new home in 2015.

In future the festival will be held in the grounds of the 19th Century baronial Strathallan Castle, with around 1,000 acres of land.

Organisers spoke of the reason for the move saying, "We’ve decided to relocate because there were lots of restrictions at Balado with regards to what parts of the site we can use and this made it difficult for us to plan ahead. Strathallan Castle will provide us with many more options for the layout of the site

"2014 will be the very last year at Kinross and we will be making sure this is the biggest party yet so we can all say bye bye Balado in style."

T in the Park started in 1994 at Strathclyde Country Park in Glasgow, moving about 30 miles north of Edinburgh to the old airfield at Balado in 1997.

Festival boss Geoff Ellis, added, "We're absolutely thrilled to announce Strathallan Castle as our new home. We've had 18 tremendous years at Balado but now we're moving onto pastures new - this time with a castle overlooking the site!

"We already loved Strathallan Castle and had been hoping to host an event there for many years. When it became clear we'd need to leave Balado to safeguard the future of the festival, we became very excited about the prospect of Strathallan becoming the new home for T in the Park. We thought it would be perfect and it is.

"Like Balado, it's right in the heart of Scotland and is easy to locate. The landscape is stunning and it has a fantastic natural amphitheatre which will lend itself beautifully for the main stage. It will truly be one of the most beautiful festival sites in the UK.

"Obviously we're sad to leave Kinross. We'll miss the local area hugely, we've built up some fantastic relationships and a great deal of fond memories there. However, we're very excited about this new chapter of T in the Park's journey and we look forward to beginning strong partnerships with the local community of Strathallan.

"More news about 2015 will be revealed soon, but before then, we look forward to welcoming everyone this July for the very last party in Kinross. We'll make sure Balado gets the spectacular send-off it deserves."
